Please explain

Leaky capacitor means a capacitor which leak its current mans reducing the current.

Sonam said:   1 decade ago
Leaky capacitor provides more current due to less dielectric medium.

Leaky capacitor is the one which allows some DC to pass through.

A leaky capacitor has a poor dielectric which means that DC current could "leak" through the capacitor since the dielectric would have very low resistance.
