Charged<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy in an electric field. The capacitance of a capacitor is directly proportional to the area of the plates, inversely proportional to the distance between the plates, and inversely proportional to the permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates.<\/p>\n<p>When an ohmmeter is connected to a charged capacitor, the ohmmeter will initially read infinity because there is no current flowing through the capacitor. However, as the capacitor discharges, the ohmmeter reading will decrease.
