Question 16 • Physics

Which is a device that stores electric charge by separating positive and negative charges?

Answer
A
a conductor
B
a capacitor
C
a resistor
D
a dielectric

Explanation

A capacitor stores electric charge by holding positive and negative charges on separate conducting plates, with an insulating material between them. That makes choice C, a capacitor, correct. A dielectric is the insulating material that can go between the plates, not the charge-storing device itself.
