Capacitor Quiz Practice Quiz | Capacitor

To store electrical energy in an electric field. — Capacitors store energy by accumulating charge on their plates.

Farad (F) — Farad is the standard unit for measuring capacitance.

All of the above. — All three factors influence capacitance: area, distance and dielectric.

It decreases. — Current decreases as the capacitor charges because voltage builds up, opposing further current flow.

Blocks the current flow. — Once fully charged, the capacitor acts like an open circuit and blocks DC current.
