B) conduction
C) electrostatic
D) electrolytic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leakage current in capacitors refers to the small amount of current that can flow through the dielectric material from one plate to the other, despite the dielectric being an insulator. This phenomenon is due to imperfections in the dielectric material.
