MDCAT Physics MCQ #709

  1. Question 1

    Q1. A circuit contains a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor connected in series. Why does the circuit behave like a capacitor?

    • A) Because the inductor is a perfect conductor
    • B) Because the resistor is a perfect insulator
    • C) Because the inductor is a capacitor in disguise
    • D) Because the inductor's inductance dominates the circuit

    Answer: Because the inductor's inductance dominates the circuit

    Explanation: The inductor's inductance dominates the circuit, causing it to behave like a capacitor at high frequencies.
