Caps and coils?

MikeJennensMikeJennens

In the simplest way to put it, a cap blocks DC and passes AC. A coil blocks AC and passes DC. This obviously happens in degrees, so that's where my question comes in. Which direction do we go with farads and henrys? Does a higher farad cap block lower frequencies and a higher henry coil block higher frequencies? 
Thanks,
Mike

    If you look at it in terms of the cutoff frequency itself, going larger on either value will drive that cutoff frequency down.

    Thanks JR. That's where I was headed.
