🔍 Key Concepts

• How a capacitor behaves when DC voltage is first applied • What an ohmmeter actually does when measuring resistance (small DC source through the probes) • The difference between a charging capacitor and a shorted or open capacitor

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to current flow in a capacitor at the very first moment a DC voltage is applied, and then after it has been connected for a while • Relate current flow to resistance indication: high current corresponds to what kind of resistance reading, and no current corresponds to what kind of reading? • For a good capacitor starting with no charge, how should its behavior change over a few seconds as seen by an ohmmeter?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what reading corresponds to no current flow on a digital ohmmeter (often shown as very high resistance or "OL"). • Be clear on what reading corresponds to high current flow on a digital ohmmeter (very low resistance). • Eliminate options that would describe a shorted capacitor (acts like a wire) or a completely open capacitor (no change from infinite resistance).
