If we try to measure the resistance of a capacitor, it starts from a low value
and, after a while, it results in an innite value.
This is because the instrument provides a DC current and, measuring the volt-
age drop, determines the value of the resistance. As a consequence, the current
charges the capacitor which, when completely charged, does not allow any more
current to ow. According to Ohm’s law, no current means innite resistance.
Curiosity
Capacitors are occasionally referred to as condensers, which is actually an
older term used by Volta in 1782. This was because electricity was thought to
be a sort of “uid” ...
