In fact, that's exactly what you do. Capacitors are only short circuits when you consider the "small signal" component after you found the DC linearized point. So capacitors are open when considering the DC component, then shorts (or at least small negative imaginary impedance) when solving for the non-DC small signal response.
The vertical wire drawn next to the vertical capacitor shorts the two terminals of the capacitor. Any current flowing through this circuit segment will flow through the vertical wire and completely bypass the vertical capacitor due to the short. This means you can ignore the shorted capacitor -- it has no effect on the circuit.
By having their shorted terminals, the voltage thereof is zero (more precisely, the potential difference between them), so that this element is not operational in the circuit, and can be removed for analysis. The other two capacitors are in series, hence that:
So momentarily, the capacitor acts as a short once you subtract its current DC value, just like an ideal voltage source would. Just how momentarily, depends on the capacitance and the current we are talking about. A DC current will not stop changing the voltage, so for DC currents we have no stable operating point.
When you treat them as short circuits you are making the assumption the have negligible reactance at the frequencies you are interested in. This is usually true for the coupling capacitors in an amplifier circuit. There are also capacitors you treat as open circuits because they have very large reactance at the frequencies of interest.
So capacitors are open when considering the DC component, then shorts (or at least small negative imaginary impedance) when solving for the non-DC small signal response. In the small signal model, your signal is some DC component plus a time varying component whose magnitude is small relative to the DC component.

Live ChatShorted/failed capacitors can also cause other parts to fail, leading to further repair needs. If there are any visible signs of failure of a capacitor (leaks, etc) you should replace it; reforming will not fix those problems. ... How to Reform a Capacitor. You need to apply a DC voltage to the capacitor at a low current for an extended period ...

Live ChatBlue: Capacitors that aren''t shorted. Orange: Capacitors that are shorted. Red: Inductors with low resistance to ground, also if I measure them with diode mode against GND they have about 0,005V. I have removed a few inductors but it''s still shorted, computer still no response and I''m about to get crazy.
Live ChatAlways short the capacitor as early into the disassembly process as you can. You may accidentally discharge it when handling it or removing it from the unit, and these components have enough energy to kill you. I make sure to wear jeans and leather boots with a rubber sole when discharging capacitors, and always when it''s relatively dry out.
Live ChatIf we use a capacitor that has a decoupling capacitor, so shunted to ground, then why for a DC source do we say the capacitor acts like a short at startup (t=0) thus having a high inrush but according to the top …

Live ChatMy furnace blower stopped blowing and I''m testing the capacitor to see if that''s where the problem is. When I test it with my multimeter I get OL. Why am I getting this instead of 0 or a low value? I found one page saying this could mean there''s a short in the capacitor, but I would love if someone could confirm or has other advice.

Live ChatOne bad cap can make them both appear short, so you will need to remove one of the caps and check if the short disappears. You can also do voltage injection (like 1v3A) on the high side of one of those caps and spray alcohol on the board to watch …
Live ChatWe need to determine why a capacitor should be shorted with a resistor before checking it with an ohmmeter. Capacitors can hold an electrical charge even when the power is turned off, so it''s important to handle them correctly to avoid damage or injury. ...

Live ChatMy question is do you need to short the power supply capacitors to be safe working or cleaning inside. If so what''s the right way to do it. ... And no, you do not directly short a capacitor with anything like a screwdriver. It''s only done with a resistor to take up the load. And the resistor must be rated higher than the capacitors discharge or ...
Live ChatI''m >90% sure those aren''t the components that shorted. It''s especially tricky with capacitors which are often connected in parallel or are used for decoupling chips... so if one looks shorted, it could be the chip that has a short inside and the capacitor is in parallel with the voltage and ground pins of the chip.

Live ChatCapacitors that have been discharged and shorted for a very long time, will still self charge once the short is removed. The energy is coming from an external source, I do believe this is related to the casimir effect, Low voltage capacitors do not exhibit the same effect as high voltage capacitors, probably due to a more leaky di electric being used.
