What indicates a fully charged battery when measuring DC voltage?
A reading lower than expected
A reading that fluctuates rapidly
A negative sign next to the reading
A reading slightly higher than the battery's rating
What should you do if unsure about the voltage you're measuring?
Start with the lowest setting
Measure without the test leads
Start with the highest setting and work down
Use the AC setting
What symbol indicates the setting for measuring AC voltage on a multimeter?

What does a continuity test check in an electric circuit?
Resistance level
Voltage level
Power level
Circuit integrity
What safety precaution should be taken when testing for continuity?
The device should be powered on
The device should be connected to an AC source
The device should not be powered
The multimeter should be set to measure voltage
What does the beep sound indicate during a continuity test?
Circuit integrity
Low battery in the multimeter
A short circuit
High resistance
What happens if you measure more than 20 amps in an unfused setting on a multimeter?
It will reset the multimeter
It will increase accuracy
It will blow a fuse
It will ruin the multimeter
How do you measure amps with a multimeter?
By touching the test leads together
By interrupting the circuit with the multimeter
By measuring the resistance first
By placing the test leads across the power source
How should you set the dial when measuring a known voltage?
To the lowest setting
To the exact voltage
To the next number up from the maximum voltage
