Question

Which of the following describes the action of a capacitor? (a) creates a de resistance (b) converts ac into de (c) opposes changes in the flow of current (d) stores electrical energy

Answer 1

From the multiple choices provided for the action of capacitor, option

(d) stores electrical energy

is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A capacitor is basically a two terminal device that stores electrical energy in the electric field in its vicinity. It is apassive element.

The property of a capacitor to store electrical energy or the effect of a capacitor is known as its capacitance. The capacitance of a capacitor is given by:

Q = CV or C =
`(Q)/(V)`

It is originally known as condensor and it can be said that a capacitor adds capacitance to the circuit.
