A capacitance is a circuit component that opposes the change in circuit__________?

Correct answer: B. Voltage

  • A. Current
  • B. Voltage
  • C. impedance
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

A capacitor resists sudden changes in voltage because its current follows i = C dv/dt; changing its voltage instantly would require infinite current. An inductor, in contrast, opposes sudden changes in current.
