5 Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the basic function of a capacitor?
Capacitors are designed to accumulate and store electrical charge.
Question 2 of 5
What unit is used to measure capacitance?
Capacitance, the ability to store charge, is measured in Farads (F).
Question 3 of 5
A capacitor consists of two conductive plates separated by a(n)...
The insulating material (dielectric) prevents current flow between the plates.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following factors affects the capacitance of a capacitor?
All three factors (area, distance, and dielectric) contribute to the capacitance value.
Question 5 of 5
In a DC circuit, what happens to current flow through an ideal capacitor once it is fully charged?
Once a capacitor is charged, it blocks the DC current flow.
