The correct answer is A: Increasing resistance with time. When an ohmmeter is connected across a large, discharged capacitor, the reading shows increasing resistance with time. This happens because the ohmmeter applies a small voltage to measure resistance, which begins charging the capacitor. As the capacitor charges, its effective resistance increases (since a charging capacitor acts like increasing resistance). Initially, the reading might be low (the capacitor appears as a short), but as it charges, the resistance reading increases. For amateur radio operators, this behavior helps identify capacitors and understand their charging characteristics.
