Kindly explain the use and difference of AC and DC capacitor. Wheather a ac capacitor can used in place of adc capacitor what will be the consequences. How to test the capacitor with a lone multimeter.

That is an extremely broad set of questions that you have asked.
It is difficult to answer give give an easy answer to you. You need to read some background information on capacitors and then ask specific questions about applications etc.

AC capacitor is used for the equipments designed for AC Supply and DC……..
NO. Capacitor may burst.
What is this?

As a general rule, it is possible to use an AC rated capacitor on DC, and usually to a higher voltage than the AC voltage rating.
If the capacitor is designed for DC, then you can still apply AC, but often at a much lower voltage except for electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors and other polarised capacitors which can be used on DC only.
