MCQ Question 5 View this Question Online >
Which of the following capacitors has the lowest value of leakage resistance?
1. Paper capacitor
2. Electrolytic capacitor
3. Ceramic capacitor
4. Mica capacitor
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Option 2 : Electrolytic capacitor
Capacitors MCQ Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Capacitor:
+ A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy electrostatically
in an electric field.
+ Unlike a resistor, a capacitor does not dissipate eneray. Instead, a capacitor stores energy in the
form of an electrostatic field between its plates.Types of capacitors:
There are different types of capacitors based on voltage levels and applications. They are:
+ Electrolytic Capacitor.
+ Mica Capacitor.
+ Paper Capacitor.
+ Film Capacitor.
+ Non-Polarized Capacitor.
+ Ceramic Capacitor.
Practical capacitor:
A practical capacitor consists of small resistance in series and also a very large vale of resistance in
parallel,
Reeakage
All the above mentioned capacitors have leakage resistance.
Properties:
+ Supercapacitors have the highest capacitance density because of their special charge storage
principles
* Electrolytic capacitors have lesser capacitance density than supercapacitors. These capacitors
have larger leakage currents.
+ Ceramic capacitors class 2 have much higher capacitance values ina given case than class 1
capacitors because of their much higher permittivity.
+ Film capacitors with their different plastic film material do have a small spread in the dimensions
fora given capacitance/voltage value of a film capacitor because the minimum dielectric film
thickness differs between the different film materials

Which of the following capacitors have the least breakdown voltage?
1. Ceramic
2. Paper
3. Mica
4, Electrotytic
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Option 4: Electrolytic
Capacitors MCQ Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The breakdown voltage of an insulator is the minimum voltage that causes a portion of an insulator to
become electrically conductive.
The breakdown voltage of a capacitor depends on the dielectric material used. The material with more
dielectric strength will have more breakdown voltage.
Application:
Among the given options, Electrolytic material has the least dielectric material. Therefore, electrolytic
capacitors have the least breakdown voltage.2
