How only capacitors can give smooth ac voltage waveform when used in ac circuits?

Answer:

Capacitors resist a change in voltage, inversely proportional to their capacitance. As a result, transients in the AC line tend to be filtered out.

If capacitors operate only when ac voltage is applied to circuit then why capacitors are used in dc?
In practical applications DC voltage can hardly be obtained without the use of capacitor as a ripple filter in the first place. The rectifier create half or full wave, the capacitor smooth it into a...
Does a capacitor store ac voltage?
Yes, for a while...it can bleed off
What affect does a capacitor have on an AC voltage?
The capacitor will act just like a resistance on an AC voltage,And the value of the resistor will be 1/(2*pi*f*C) Where, pi= 3.1416.... f= frequency of the AC voltage C= capacitance of the capacitor
How are ac voltage generated into waveform?
A.C. (alternating current) is typically generated by converting mechanical, rotational energy, into electrical energy, with an alternator. The alternator has a rotating electrical field (rotor) which...
