Which of the following capacitors has relatively shorter shelf life____________?
Correct answer: B. Electrolytic capacitor
- A. Mica capacitor
- B. Electrolytic capacitor
- C. Ceramic capacitor
- D. Paper capacitor
Explanation
Electrolytic capacitors have a shorter shelf life because their electrolyte can dry out or chemically deteriorate even when they are not in operation. Mica and ceramic capacitors are generally more stable in storage.
