That is, the value of the voltage is not important, but rather how quickly the voltage is changing. Given a fixed voltage, the capacitor current is zero and thus the capacitor behaves like an open. If the voltage is changing rapidly, the current will be high and the capacitor behaves more like a short.
The capacitor across the emitter resistor greatly reduces the effective emitter resistance at frequencies where the capacitive reactance is less than the emitter resistor. Note that the input signal, Vin, basically appears across this emitter resistor, Re, so the emitter current is given by Vin/Re.
As long as the current is present, feeding the capacitor, the voltage across the capacitor will continue to rise. A good analogy is if we had a pipe pouring water into a tank, with the tank's level continuing to rise. This process of depositing charge on the plates is referred to as charging the capacitor.
Capacitors do not so much resist current; it is more productive to think in terms of them reacting to it. The current through a capacitor is equal to the capacitance times the rate of change of the capacitor voltage with respect to time (i.e., its slope).
Equation 6.1.2.6 6.1.2.6 provides considerable insight into the behavior of capacitors. As just noted, if a capacitor is driven by a fixed current source, the voltage across it rises at the constant rate of i/C i / C. There is a limit to how quickly the voltage across the capacitor can change.
If this simple device is connected to a DC voltage source, as shown in Figure 8.2.1 , negative charge will build up on the bottom plate while positive charge builds up on the top plate. This process will continue until the voltage across the capacitor is equal to that of the voltage source.
