Question

Which of the following components stores electrical energy temporarily and is often cylindrical or box-shaped with its value marked on it?

Options

• Diode

• LED

• Resistor

• Capacitor

Answer 1

Capacitor

Explanation:

A capacitor stores electrical energy temporarily in an electric field between its plates. It is commonly cylindrical or box-shaped in appearance, with its capacitance value (in microfarads or picofarads) directly marked on its body, making it easy to identify in a circuit.
