We introduce the notion of defect of a Lipschitz cylindrical condenser. It is the difference between the capacity of the condenser and its Ahlfors integral. We calculate the defect approximately for condensers over arbitrary open sets. For a condenser over an inner uniform domain the quantity obtained is comparable to the sum of the squares of the seminorms of the plates in a weighted homogeneous Slobodetskii space. This uses the characterization of inner uniform domains by the following property: every inner metric ball is a centered John domain.
