alleryStart learning →A capacitor is best described as which arrangement?
ATwo conductors separated by an insulator
BTwo insulators joined by a conductor
CA single insulated sphere only
DTwo conductors joined by a wire
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Two conductors separated by an insulator
A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by an insulating medium so they can hold equal and opposite charges.
