Capacitors - Displacement current

 

1) Changing magnetic field across plates induces a current across terminals of capacitor. Nice diagram here.

2) Capacitors can pass decreasing amounts of DC while charging. Once charged they block DC.

3) Opposite to inductors, capacitors like to pass AC (displacement current) and don't like to pass DC.
