🔍 Key Concepts

• How a capacitor behaves when connected to an ohmmeter (initial charge, then increasing apparent resistance) • Difference between a good capacitor and a shorted capacitor when measuring resistance with a digital multimeter • Meaning of an open circuit (OL ohms) versus a short circuit (very low ohms) on a resistance scale

💭 Think About

• Imagine the meter’s internal battery trying to push current through the capacitor. What happens to current and displayed resistance as the capacitor charges normally? • If the capacitor plates are shorted together inside, does the meter "see" a storage device anymore, or just a direct path for current? How would that appear on the ohms display over time? • Which answer choice describes a behavior that DOESN’T change from the normal charge-up pattern, but is instead stuck in one condition?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answers describe a changing resistance over time and which describe a constant reading • Recall that OL (over limit) on an ohmmeter corresponds to an open circuit (very high resistance), while a short is very low, near-zero ohms • Decide whether a shorted capacitor should look more like a piece of wire or a broken/open connection to the meter
