Question

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

(a) Electrolyte capacitor

(b) Mica capacitor

(c) Air capacitor

(d) Glass capacitor

The question was posed to me during an interview for a job.

The query is from Types of Capacitor and Capacitance topic in division Capacitance and Capacitors of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) Mica capacitor

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