Which device can be used to store charge?
A
Transistor
B
Diode
C
Capacitor
D
Resistor
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Capacitor. A capacitor (condenser) is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy electrostatically in an electric field.

Detailed explanation-2: -A charged capacitor stores energy in the electrical field between its plates. As the capacitor is being charged, the electrical field builds up. When a charged capacitor is disconnected from a battery, its energy remains in the field in the space between its plates. .

Detailed explanation-3: -A capacitor is created out of two metal plates and an insulating material called a dielectric. The metal plates are placed very close to each other, in parallel, but the dielectric sits between them to make sure they don’t touch.

Detailed explanation-4: -A capacitor may be a device for storing charge. It’s usually made from two plates separated by a skinny insulating material referred to as the dielectric. One plate of the capacitor is charged, while the opposite has charge.
