When a capacitor was connected to the terminal of ohmmeter, the pointer indicated a low resistance initially and then slowly came to infinity position. This shows that capacitor is____________?
Correct answer: B. all right
- A. short-circuited
- B. all right
- C. faulty
Explanation
A good capacitor initially draws charging current, so the ohmmeter shows low resistance; as the capacitor charges, the current falls and the indication moves toward infinity. A shorted capacitor would remain near zero resistance.
