A VTVM is never used to measure ______________?
Correct answer: B. Current
- A. Voltage
- B. Current
- C. Resistance
- D. None of the above
Explanation
A VTVM measures voltage and resistance by using an electronic amplifier and rectifier or ohmmeter circuits, but it does not directly measure current. Current measurement requires a low-resistance current-measuring path, as in an ammeter.
