A slightly modified description - "...with a CHANGING voltage on it".

Capacitors don't pass DC but do pass AC. By comparison an inductor
does pass DC but won't pass AC.

An inductor certainly *does* pass AC, it's just that its impedance
increases with frequency whereas a capacitor's impedance decreases
with frequency. A capacitor is the inverse of an inductor, a perfect
capacitor has infinite resistance to DC, a perfect inductor has zero
resistance to DC.
