Leaky<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When testing a capacitor with an ohm meter, the capacitor should show a high resistance reading at first, then the resistance should decrease as the capacitor charges. If the resistance reading never decreases, or if it decreases to a very low value, then the capacitor is leaky.<\/p>\n<p>A leaky capacitor is one that has a small amount of current flowing through it even when it is not supposed to be conducting any current. This can happen due to damage to the capacitor&#8217;s dielectric material, or due to a defect in the capacitor&#8217;s construction.<\/p>\n<p>A leaky capacitor can cause problems in electronic circuits.
