🔍 Key Concepts

• Energy storage in capacitors and inductors and how they can momentarily exceed supply voltage • How series/parallel capacitor arrangements affect voltage and charge distribution • Role of resonant or pulse-forming networks in generating high-voltage pulses

💭 Think About

• Which option describes a method where energy is stored over a longer time at low voltage, then released quickly to produce a higher instantaneous voltage? • Think about which circuit types are commonly used in pulse modulators for radar or high-voltage applications, not just simple DC power supplies. • For each choice, ask: does this method realistically allow the instantaneous pulse voltage to exceed the DC supply without violating conservation of energy?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are standard pulse modulator techniques used in radar or high-voltage transmitters. • Check which circuits explicitly rely on energy storage and rapid discharge to boost instantaneous voltage. • Eliminate any options that only rearrange components without a clear way to increase peak voltage above supply.
