A capacitor is generally a____________?

Correct answer: C. linear and bilateral component

  • A. bilateral and active component
  • B. active, passive, linear and nonlinear component
  • C. linear and bilateral component
  • D. non-linear and active component

Explanation

A usual capacitor is a passive, linear, bilateral component: its voltage-current relation is linear for a constant capacitance and it works in either polarity. It does not generate energy, so it is not active.
