Question on: WAEC Physics - 2018

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

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C

Capacitors pass AC but block DC signals (when charged up to the applied DC voltage). They are often used to
