Variable capacitors are generally rated in ____.
A) picofarads
B) microfarads
C) millifarads
D) farads

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Variable capacitors are typically used for tuning in radio circuits and are therefore rated in small capacitance units such as picofarads. Millifarads and farads are too large for this application, and while some capacitors may be rated in microfarads, this is less common for variable capacitors.
