An open resistor, when checked with an ohm-meter reads_____________?
Correct answer: B. infinite
- A. zero
- B. infinite
- C. high but within tolerance
- D. low but not zero
Explanation
An open resistor has a broken conducting path, so no current flows through it. An ohmmeter therefore indicates infinite or extremely high resistance.
