General exam question G6A08
Subelement G6, CIRCUIT COMPONENTS· Group G6A
Which of the following is characteristic of low voltage ceramic capacitors?
- A.Tight tolerance
- B.High stability
- C.High capacitance for given volume
- D.Comparatively low cost (correct answer)
WhyLow voltage ceramic capacitors are characteristically comparatively low cost. Low voltage ceramic capacitors are popular in general electronics largely because they're comparatively inexpensive to manufacture, answer D. They're better known for loose tolerance and less stable capacitance over temperature than for tight tolerance or high stability, and while some ceramic types do pack meaningful capacitance into a small volume, that isn't the property this particular low-voltage ceramic question is highlighting as its defining characteristic, so A, B, and C are wrong.
