1-47. Which of the following safety precautions
should be observed when an ohmmeter is
used?
1. Always start with the highest scale of
the meter
2. Deenergize the circuit before
connecting the meter
3. Observe proper polarity
4. All of the above
1-48. Meggers (megohmmeters) are used to
measure which of the following
quantities?
1. Low voltage
2. High voltage
3. Low resistance
4. High resistance
1-49. When a megger is used to check the
insulation of a wire, which of the
following indications should be considered
normal?
1.
2.
0
3.
500 V
4. 1000 V
1-50. Which of the following safety precautions
should be observed when a megger is
used?
1. Do not use a dc megger to measure
circuits that are powered by ac
2. Always start with the highest scale
selection of the meter
3. Do not touch the meter leads when a
measurement is being taken
4. All of the above
1-51. A multimeter can be used to measure
which of the following electrical
properties?
1. Voltage
2. Current
3. Resistance
4. Each of the above
1-52. The function switch on a multimeter does
NOT perform which of the following
functions?
1. Selection of the meter range
2. Determination of the proper scale
3. Selection of ac or dc capability
4. Changing of the multimeter from an
ammeter to a voltmeter
1-53. One of the problems encountered in
building a multimeter is that the meter
movement gives different readings for the
same values of ac and dc. Which of the
following features of a multimeter will
solve this problem?
1. A rectifier
2. An ac/dc switch
3. Separate scales for ac and dc
4. A mirror on the face of the meter
1-54. Why is there a mirror on the face of a
multimeter?
1. To illuminate the meter face
2. To aid in reducing parallax error
3. To reduce the friction between the
pointer and the meter face
4. To compensate for the difference in ac
and dc measurements
1-55. If the mirror on the face of a multimeter is
used properly, where will the image of the
pointer appear?
1. Hidden behind the pointer
2. Barely visible on either side of the
pointer
3. Clearly visible to the left of the pointer
4. Clearly visible to the right of the
pointer
