MCQ
A capacitor acts as an infinite resistance for.
  • A
    DC
  • B
    AC
  • C
    DC as well as AC
  • D
    neither AC nor DC

Answer

  1. DC

Explanation:

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.
