Question
A capacitor acts as an infinite resistance for.
✓
Answer
- DC
Capacitors contain at least two electrical conductors separated by a dielectric/ insulator and is used to store energy electrostatically between the conductors. It acts like an open circuit and hence acts like an infinite resistance for DC currents.
