Question 106Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passAlternating current circuits may develop resistance, inductance, and capacitance. What is the unit of measure for expressing capacitance?
Afarads
Bohms
Cmhos
Dhenrys
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) farads. Capacitance is the measure of the ability of a capacitor to store an electrical charge, and the unit of measure for capacitance is the farad (F). This is the standard unit defined in the International System of Units (SI) for expressing the capacitance of an electrical circuit. The other answer choices are incorrect because ohms (Ω) is the unit of electrical resistance, mhos (℧) is the unit of electrical conductance, and henrys (H) is the unit of electrical inductance. These units do not directly measure the capacitance of a circuit.
