When working on electrical circuits containing large capacitors, in addition to de- energizing the circuit, which of the listed precautions should also be taken?

Correct Answer: Option D — Discharge the capacitor through a 50,000 ohm resistor.

Large capacitors store lethal electrical energy even after power isolation. IEEE 45 safety procedures require discharging them safely through a dedicated bleeder resistor, such as a 50,000-ohm resistor, prior to handling.
