It is used to &#8220;block&#8221; DC in an electronic circuit by allowing current to flow in one direction and blocking it in the other direction.<\/p>\n<p>A resistance is an electrical component that opposes the flow of current. It is measured in ohms (\u00ce\u00a9). The higher the resistance, the more the current is opposed.<\/p>\n<p>A capacitance is an electrical component that stores charge. It is measured in farads (F). The higher the capacitance, the more charge is stored.<\/p>\n<p>An inductance is an electrical component that stores energy in a magnetic field. It is measured in henries (H). The higher the inductance, the more energy is stored.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, a diode is the only circuit element that can be used to &#8220;block&#8221; DC in an electronic circuit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Resistances&#8221; option2=&#8221;Capacitance&#8221; option3=&#8221;Inductance&#8221; option4=&#8221;Diode&#8221; correct=&#8221;option4&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-physics","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Which of the following circuit elements is used to &#039;&#039;block&quot; DC in an electronic circuit ?
