The ohmmeter reading for a short circuited capacitor is____________?

Correct answer: D. zeroCapacitors

  • A. infinity
  • B. few kilo ohms
  • C. few megohms
  • D. zeroCapacitors

Explanation

A short-circuited capacitor provides a direct conducting path between its terminals. An ohmmeter therefore measures approximately zero resistance rather than the high resistance expected from a sound capacitor.
