Which of the following conditions indicates a short circuited capacitor when checking its condition with a digital multimeter set up as an ohmmeter?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — The screen immediately displays 'zero' ohms and remains at this value.
A short-circuited capacitor exhibits zero internal dielectric resistance, causing a digital ohmmeter set to continuity or resistance to display zero ohms continuously without charging.
