An electrolytic capacitor is generally made to provide__________?

Correct answer: D. large value of capacitance

  • A. low capacitance
  • B. fixed capacitance
  • C. variable capacitance
  • D. large value of capacitance

Explanation

Electrolytic capacitors achieve high capacitance using a very thin oxide dielectric and a large effective electrode area. They are therefore commonly used where large capacitance values are required, especially in DC smoothing.
