🔍 Key Concepts

• Capacitor energy storage and what happens after power is removed • Safe ways to discharge stored electrical energy • Why you avoid sudden high-current discharge in large capacitors

💭 Think About

• After you turn the power off, what dangerous condition can still remain in a large capacitor? • How can you safely remove that stored energy without damaging equipment or causing an arc? • Which choice deals directly with removing or controlling stored charge, not just testing or checking?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option actually removes or safely reduces stored charge in the capacitor • Eliminate options that only measure, check, or are unrelated to stored energy • Think about why using a resistor instead of a direct short might be safer for large capacitors
