In a capacitive circuit___________?
Correct answer: B. an increase in applied voltage makes a capacitor charge
- A. a steady value of applied voltage causes discharge
- B. an increase in applied voltage makes a capacitor charge
- C. decrease in applied voltage makes a capacitor charge
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A capacitor charges when the applied voltage increases, because additional charge is required to establish the higher voltage. A steady voltage does not by itself cause discharge.
