G6A04
Which of the following is characteristic of an electrolytic capacitor?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. High capacitance for a given volume
Electrolytic capacitors pack a large capacitance into a small package. They have loose tolerance and relatively high leakage, and are not suited for RF use.
Tip: Electrolytic = big capacitance, small size.
