What reading indicates that an ohmmeter is connected across a large, discharged capacitor?
Increasing resistance with time✓Correct answer
Decreasing resistance with time
Steady full-scale reading
Alternating between open and short circuit
Explanation
The ohmmeter's own test current charges the capacitor, and as its voltage rises the current falls, so the meter shows a low resistance at first and then a steadily increasing reading. A large value is required for this to be visible on a slow-moving indication rather than instantaneous.
