Which of the following conditions indicates a short circuited capacitor when checking its condition with a digital multimeter set up as an ohmmeter?

🔍 Key Concepts

• How a capacitor behaves in a DC circuit (it looks like an open circuit after charging) • What an ohmmeter actually does when measuring resistance (it applies a small DC voltage) • Difference in readings for short circuit, open circuit, and normal charging behavior of a capacitor

💭 Think About

• If the meter is applying DC, what should happen to current flow through a healthy capacitor over time? • On an ohms scale, what reading represents a short circuit, and what reading represents an open circuit? • Which choice describes behavior where the capacitor never "charges up" in the eyes of the meter?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option shows a reading that stays at zero ohms (continuous conduction) • Identify which option shows a reading that stays at OL / very high ohms (no conduction) • Identify which options show a reading that changes over time (simulating the charging of a capacitor)

Which of the following conditions indicates a short circuited capacitor when checking its condition with a digital multimeter set up as an ohmmeter?

The screen immediately displays 'OL' ohms, but gradually drops to 'zero' ohms.

The screen immediately displays 'zero' ohms and remains at this value.

The screen immediately displays 'OL' ohms and remains at this value.

The screen immediately displays 'zero' ohms, but gradually climbs to 'OL' ohms.
