"the last can raise the devil"
It is in a section about dielectrics holding a charge, then discharging back into the source, if their pressure exeeds the charging source
It is an odd thing to have placed in itallics, as though he meant it litterally.
Depends what he thought the devil is?

Absolutely, yes they are, usually in power transmissions to increase power factor where there are heavy inductive loads.
However, what gregg meant, and I am sure he will agree, is that you cannot charge up a capacitor with AC current and expect it to maintain a charge for it is constantly charging and discharging dependent upon the frequency, this is called Capacitive Reactance.
Your turn gregg,
