Question

Capacitor preferred when there is high frequency in the circuits is __________

(a) Electrolyte capacitor

(b) Mica capacitor

(c) Air capacitor

(d) Glass capacitor

I have been asked this question at a job interview.

The doubt is from Capacitors topic in portion Capacitance and Capacitors of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) Mica capacitor

To elaborate: Mica capacitors are preferred for high frequency circuits because they have low ohmic losses and less reactance.
