Answer the following question:

An applied voltage signal consists of a superposition of a dc voltage and an A.C. voltage of high frequency. The circuit consists of an inductor and a capacitor in series. Show that the dc signal will appear across C and the A.C. signal across L.

Dc signal will appear across capacitor. This is because impedance of an inductor is negligible whereas the impedance of the capacitor is high and almost infinite. An A.C. singal of high frequency appears across inductor because for an A.C. signal of high frequency, the impedance of inductor is high while impedance of capacitor is low.
