NCCER Ch. 12 Review

Which of the following is true regarding analog meters?

• Analog meters are solid-state instruments.

• Analog meters provide a digital readout.

• Analog meters rely on a moving-coil meter movement.

• Analog meters provide an autoranging setting.

A voltmeter is used to test

• exact voltages

• voltage ranges

• power

• sine waves

In order to ensure safety, before measuring low voltages, you should first test for resistance

• resistance

• current

• vibration

An ammeter is used to measure

• current

• voltage

• resistance

• insulation value

Clamp-on ammeters operate by

• using d'Arsonval meter movement

• sensing the strength of the electromagnetic field around the wire

• measuring the high resistance end of a power transformer

• using a resistive shunt
