Multimeter Test Out

Which multimeter test mode is commonly used to test components such as switches, fuses, electrical connections, and individual conductors?

• Voltage

• Resistance

• Current

• Capacitance

What best describes voltage?

• Opposition to current flow

• Flow or movement of free electrons through a conductor

• Force or pressure which causes electrons to flow

• A break in the path of current flow

A multimeter must be connected in ______ to measure current.

Which of the following is NOT true to measure resistance?

• Component needs to be isolated

• Positive lead on one side and negative on the other

• Ensure all unit power is OFF and capacitors are discharged

• Select either AC or DC current on the meter

A tool that measures voltage, current, resistance, and continuity is called a:

• voltmeter

• resistor

• multimeter

• screwdriver

What will appear on the display if the probes are connected in reverse?

• A positive reading

• A "twice the value" reading

• A negative reading

• An infinity symbol

What scale on the multimeter would you choose, when you are measuring the voltage at a power outlet?

• DCV Scale
