Which of the following statements about parallel plate capacitors is/are correct?
I. Capacitance of the capacitor is inversely proportional to the distance between the plates
II. Capacitors can filter a.c signals from d.c
III. Capacitors can store charges
-
A.
I only -
B.
I and II only -
C.
II and III only -
D.
I, II and III
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
Capacitors pass AC but block DC signals (when charged up to the applied DC voltage), they are often used to separate the AC and DC components of a signal. Capacitors are also primarily used to store energy.
