Question

1. capacitors are identified by which two values?

a farads and watts
b farads and voltage
c maxwells and current
d watts and henries

Explanation:

• Farads (\(F\)) are the unit of capacitance, which is the main characteristic of a capacitor.
• Voltage rating is also crucial as it indicates the maximum voltage the capacitor can safely handle without breaking down.
• Watts (\(W\)) is a unit of power (\(P = VI\)), not related to capacitor identification.
• Maxwells (\(Mx\)) is a unit of magnetic flux, and henrys (\(H\)) is a unit of inductance, both not relevant here.
• Current (\(I\)) is a flow of electric charge, not a primary identifier for capacitors.

Answer:

B. farads and voltage
