  • testing capacitor with multimeter

    Hi, I read that you can test whether or not a capacitor is working by using an ohm-meter. if its working the resistance will slowly increase if you connect the probe in the correct polarity and decreases if you connect it in reverse. Is this true?

    I tried doing this on a power supply board, almost all of the capacitor behaved as described above, except two capacitor, does this mean these two capacitor are not working anymore?( I did not desolder the capacitors and just test them on the unplugged board)
