🔍 Key Concepts

• Behavior of a capacitor when connected to a DC ohmmeter (charging effect) • What a DMM shows when measuring resistance across a component that starts as a short and becomes an open as it charges • Difference between resistance, capacitance, and voltage measurements on a digital multimeter

💭 Think About

• Look at the selector switch position in figure B: is the meter set to measure resistance, capacitance, or voltage? Based on that, which answers can you eliminate immediately? • When a good capacitor is first connected to a DC source, does it initially look like a short circuit (low resistance) or an open circuit (high resistance)? And what happens after a few seconds? • On an ohms range, how would a meter indicate an open circuit versus a short circuit as the capacitor charges?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the meter in figure B is set to a resistance/ohms or diode/continuity type function, not voltage or capacitance • Remember that a fully charged capacitor on DC behaves like an open circuit (very high resistance) while it is initially uncharged it behaves like a low resistance path • Verify which choice describes a resistance reading that changes over time in the same way a capacitor charges and then appears open on DC
