Out of the following capacitors of identical rating which one will have the smallest dimensions ___________ ?

Correct answer: C. Ceramic capacitor

  • A. Aluminium foil capacitor
  • B. Mica capacitor
  • C. Ceramic capacitor
  • D. Paper capacitorGet Study Guides

Explanation

For the same capacitance and voltage rating, a ceramic dielectric generally provides a higher dielectric constant and dielectric strength than mica, paper, or aluminium foil arrangements. Therefore, less physical material is needed and the ceramic capacitor is smallest.
