When testing an open capacitor with a digital multimeter, what will the multimeter display after briefly showing numbers?

When testing an open capacitor with a digital multimeter, the multimeter will typically display "OL" or "Out of Limits" after briefly showing numbers. This display indicates that the capacitor is not conducting electricity, which aligns with the characteristics of an open capacitor. An open capacitor has infinite resistance, meaning that the multimeter cannot measure any current flow through it. The initial numbers may appear as the multimeter briefly stabilizes, but the final reading will display "OL" to signal that the resistance is beyond the maximum measurable limit. This behavior is consistent with how multimeters function when encountering components that do not complete a circuit.
