A capacitor consists of two____________?
Correct answer: D. conductors separated by an insulator
- A. ceramic plates and one mica disc
- B. insulators separated by a dielectric
- C. silver-coated insulators
- D. conductors separated by an insulator
Explanation
A capacitor stores charge on two conducting plates separated by an insulating dielectric. The dielectric prevents direct conduction while allowing an electric field to form between the conductors.
