DC circuits have zero impedance

No, they have zero _reactance_; the impedance is simply equal to
the resistance, which is the real component of impedance, which
is a complex number.


Sooo.. you're saying a (non faulty) capacitor has zero reactance at
DC?


Of course not, you nincompoop. A capacitor is an open circuit at DC,
so the concept of impedance is meaningless.

Hope This Helps!
