2-56. When preparing to use an ohmmeter to
test a circuit for grounds, you should first
take which of the following actions?
1. Energize the circuit
2. Disconnect all intentional grounds
3. Measure the circuit voltage at the
power source
4. Connect all intentional grounds
2-57. When preparing to use a voltmeter to
measure voltage in a circuit, you should
first take which of the following actions?
1. Set the meter to the lowest voltage
range
2. Remove the suspected component
from the circuit
3. Check the voltage from the power
source to ensure it is correct
4. Check the current flow through the
circuit with an ammeter
2-58. It is important to set a voltmeter on its
highest range scale before taking a
measurement for which of the following
reasons?
1.
To protect the meter from damage
2.
To decrease the effects of input
impedance
3.
To increase the sensitivity of the
measurement
4.
To protect the equipment being
tested from damage

2-59. An accurate measurement of a particular
resistor in a set of parallel resistors may
be obtained by performing which of the
following procedural steps?
1. Connecting the ohmmeter leads
across the resistor while in place
2. Disconnecting the resistor from the
set before taking the measurement
3. Grounding the resistance set before
taking the measurement
4. Using the highest ohmmeter range
