🔍 Key Concepts

• Stored electrical energy in components, not just live circuits • Difference between energy storage vs voltage transformation or current limiting • Which devices can remain dangerous even after the power source is disconnected

💭 Think About

• Which of these components is specifically designed to store electrical charge and can stay energized after the circuit is turned off? • Which devices mainly change voltage or current but do not intentionally store a hazardous amount of energy once disconnected? • In electrical safety procedures, which component is commonly mentioned as needing to be discharged to ground before touching it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option’s primary function is energy storage, not just resistance or induction • Consider which device can hold a dangerous residual voltage even after lock-out/tag-out is complete • Recall standard electrical safety practice: which component must be shorted or discharged before handling?
