What reading indicates that an ohmmeter is connected across a large, discharged capacitor?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. Increasing resistance with time
When an ohmmeter is connected to a large, discharged capacitor, the meter's current starts charging it. At first the reading is low, then the resistance reading rises over time as the capacitor charges up.
Tip: Charging capacitor: resistance reading climbs.
