Question
Which one of these statements is true of the ohmmeter?Select one:a.All these statements are trueb.It is used to measure resistance of a single resistor in a network without removing the resistor from the circuit.c.It should be stored with the selector switch in the resistance moded.It displays a resistance of zero if the leads touch each other, and an infinite reading if there is no connection at alle.It is used to measure resistance in a circuit only if the circuit is powered by low-voltage batteries.
Solution
The statement that is true of the ohmmeter is:
d. It displays a resistance of zero if the leads touch each other, and an infinite reading if there is no connection at all.
Explanation:
a. We cannot say all these statements are true because some of them are not correct.
b. An ohmmeter cannot measure the resistance of a single resistor in a network without removing the resistor from the circuit. This is because the ohmmeter would be measuring the total resistance
