In the case of a lossy capacitor, its series equivalent resistance value will be

small
very small
large
zero

The correct answer is: C. large

A lossy capacitor is a capacitor that has some resistance in parallel with it. This resistance causes the capacitor to lose energy over time, which is why it is called a lossy capacitor. The larger the resistance, the more energy the capacitor will lose, and the less effective it will be at storing charge.

Option A is incorrect because a lossy capacitor does not have a small series equivalent resistance value. Option B is incorrect because a lossy capacitor does not have a very small series equivalent resistance value. Option D is incorrect because a lossy capacitor does not have a zero series equivalent resistance value.
