A capacitor consists of_____________?
Correct answer: B. two conductors separated by an insulator
- A. two insulators separated by a conductor
- B. two conductors separated by an insulator
- C. two insulators only
- D. two conductors only
Explanation
A capacitor is formed by two conducting plates separated by an insulating dielectric. The dielectric prevents direct conduction while allowing electric-field energy to be stored.
