What property allows an RF bypass capacitor to have little effect on an audio circuit?
- AHigh reactance at audio frequencies
- BLow reactance at radio frequencies
- CHigh reactance at radio frequencies
- DLow reactance at audio frequencies
Correct answer: A — High reactance at audio frequencies. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
An RF bypass capacitor works by offering high resistance, called reactance, to audio signals so they pass through the circuit unchanged instead of being diverted to ground. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
