Q. While testing a capacitor with a multimeter, the needle shows zero position indicating the capacitor is :
Solution:
If the capacitor under test is short, the multimeter needle will go to zero and remain there.
If the capacitor under test is open, the multimeter needle will not move (will remain at the infinity position which is the initial position for analogue multi meters).
If the capacitor under test has leakage then the needle will first deflect to zero, and then slowly move towards infinity and will settle at a point before infinity.
