If a capacitor is tested at 200V and measures a dielectric leakage current of 10nA the insulation resistance must be 20GW. For 10nA the instrument would be on the 100nA full-scale range with a feedback resistor of 20MW. In this case the gain of the detector is 20MW/20GW, or .001. The output voltage would then be [(.001) · (200V)], or 200mV.
In a typical polar capacitor, the longer lead is the positive terminal, and the shorter lead is the negative terminal. Rotate the selection knob of the multimeter and select the capacitance mode.
