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.
