Question

1. the voltage rating of a capacitor used in an ac circuit refers to the maximum ______ voltage.

a continuous
b peak
c peak - to - peak
d rms

Explanation:

In an AC circuit, the voltage rating of a capacitor is based on the maximum peak voltage it can withstand. Peak - to - peak is the difference between the maximum and minimum voltage values. RMS (root - mean - square) is a different measure (related to average power - carrying capacity). Continuous is not the standard term for this maximum voltage specification in the context of capacitor voltage ratings in AC circuits.

Answer:

B. peak
