What type of electrical component consists of conductive surfaces separated by an insulator?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. Capacitor
A capacitor is built from two conductive surfaces, called plates, with an insulator (the dielectric) between them. The insulator keeps the plates from touching so charge can build up on each side.
Tip: Two plates plus an insulator in between makes a capacitor.
