If an ohmmeter reading immediately goes practically to zero and stays there, capacitor is___________?

Correct answer: B. short-circuited

  • A. charged
  • B. short-circuited
  • C. lossy
  • D. satisfactory

Explanation

A healthy capacitor initially shows low resistance while charging, then the ohmmeter reading rises; a reading that immediately falls to zero and remains there indicates a short circuit. A charged or satisfactory capacitor would not remain at zero resistance.
