MCQ
A capacitor acts as an infinite resistance for.
- ✓$DC$
- B$AC$
- C$DC$ as well as $AC$
- Dneither $AC$ nor $DC$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$DC$
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.
