Which statement best describes the movement of electrical current when a capacitor is used in a circuit?

The discharge of a capacitor changes the direction of the current.

Capacitors prevent current from moving through a circuit.

Electrical current decreases the storage capacity within the capacitor.

Electrical current from a capacitor minimizes magnetic fields.

The discharge of a capacitor changes the direction of the current

Explanation:

Capacitor is used to store charges. Changing and discharging a capacitor changes the direction of the current.

When a capacitor is charging, current flows towards the positive plate and away from the negative plate. When the capacitor is discharging, current flows away from the positive and flows towards the negative plate, in the opposite direction. During these two processes (charging and discharging), it can be seen that the direction of the current is changed.

Therefore, the discharge of a capacitor changes the direction of the current
