IN ANSWERING QUESTIONS 2-69
THROUGH 2-72, REFER TO FIGURE 2H
AND SELECT THE OHMMETER POINTER
LOCATION THAT RESULTS FROM THE
CONDITION GIVEN.
2-69. Both test leads are touching the metal
chassis of a piece of equipment.
2-70. The test leads are shorted together.
2-71. The test leads are separated from each
other and not touching anything else.
2-72. An accurate resistance reading is being
made.
2-73. The function of the ZERO OHM control
on a multimeter is to compensate for
which of the following conditions?
1. Meter battery aging
2. Large values of resistance in the
circuit to be measured
3. Inter-electrode capacitance in the
circuit to be measured
4. Stray voltages in the circuit under
test
2-74. When using a multimeter to measure an
output voltage, you should ensure that
the dc voltage component does not
exceed what maximum voltage?
1. 100 volts
2. 200 volts
3. 300 volts
4. 400 volts
2-75. When measuring unknown currents, you
should determine the range scale that is
appropriate in what way?
1. Start with the expected scale
2. Start with the lowest scale and work
up
3. Start with the highest scale and work
down
4. Use the highest scale only
