I found the description of capacitors very interesting and comprehensive in http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/electricCircuits/DC/DC_13.html.
Very few textbooks that I read have given such a detailed explanation on this topic.
However, I found that the direction of current indicated in the figures titled "The Capacitor acts as a LOAD" and "The Capacitor acts a SOURCE" to be misleading.
Further, the sentence "Note the direction of current with regard to the voltage polarity: " in the description does not serve as an explanation regarding this.
I will be happy if you could provide more details on the directions of current in both the figures.
Thanks
