What property allows a bypass capacitor in an audio circuit to divert an interfering RF signal?
- AHigh reactance at audio frequencies
- BLow reactance at radio frequencies
- CHigh reactance at radio frequencies
- DLow reactance at audio frequencies
Correct answer: B — Low reactance at radio frequencies. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
A bypass capacitor works by offering an easy path for unwanted radio signals to flow to ground instead of through your audio equipment. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
