Triangle RC to square AC (oscillator

01:26:51

Real time

When the RC voltage is at high, the capacitor charges and outputs 400V;
when it is at low, the capacitor discharges and emits -400mV thus creating a 400mV AC oscillation.

That's because capacitor current is rate of change of voltage across it, Ic = d(Vc)/dt

DC wave form.

@rich11292000, the RC is DC, but the current from the capacitor is square AC

You can also swap the RC with anything that emits a wave that has a minimum voltage of 0 (i.e. An AC source that has the "DC Voltage" setting set to 1)
