Capacitors

Q1: If an open capacitor is checked with an ohmmeter, the needle will:

A stay on zero

B stay on infinity

C move from zero to infinity

D move from infinity to zero

ANS:B - stay on infinity

Since an ohmmeter uses its internal battery to measure the resistance by applying a small amount of DC current, Xc would be infinite because the voltage provided by a battery has no frequency thus 1/(2*pi*0*c) = infinite).
