While testing a capacitor with ohm meter, if the capacitor shows charging, but the final resistance reading is appreciably less than normal, it can be concluded that the capacitor is____________?
Correct answer: D. leaky
- A. short-circuited
- B. open circuited
- C. alright
- D. leaky
Explanation
A healthy capacitor initially shows low resistance while charging and then rises to a very high value. If the final resistance remains appreciably low, leakage current is present, indicating a leaky capacitor.
