a BJT may be tested as two diodes using the ohms scale. a FET cannot be tested with just a multimeter.

How can you check Integrated Circuits with a multimeter?

To check the IC by the multimeter, you have to make sure that the pointer points at the current. You can then connect the multimeter across the check the IC.


How to check frequency with a multimeter?

To check frequency with a multimeter, set the multimeter to the frequency measurement mode. Connect the probes to the circuit or signal you want to measure. The multimeter will display the frequency in hertz (Hz) on the screen.


How can check a transistor with digital multimeter?

If your multimeter has a transistor check (hfe), then place the Collector,Base& Emitter in the CBE port of multimeter. Turn the shaft to Diode mode. If the value is zero,skip that transistor. You can use the forward resistance of each junction, using the ohms range or diode check function. Put the leads on the Base and Emitter, then reverse the leads. You should get about 600Ohms forward bias and open circuit (infinity) reverse bias. Do the same between the Base and Collector. You should get the same results. Finally put the leads between the Collector and Emitter. You should get open circuit both ways around. Be aware that some high power transistors have a diode across the Emitter and Collector. These tests will just be a basic 'go - no go' test. It may pass this test and yet still not perform fully. You can see obvious faults, like a dead short both ways on each junction or across the Emitter to Collector.

How do you check field-effect transistor using analoge multitester?

There is no simple way to test FETs with either analog or digital multimeters. Bipolar transistors can be tested to see if their junctions are OK but they can also have failures that cannot be detected with a multimeter.


How can I check the resistance in a wire?

To check the resistance in a wire, you can use a multimeter. Set the multimeter to the resistance (ohms) setting, then touch the probes to each end of the wire. The multimeter will display the resistance measurement in ohms.

How to check an AC capacitor with a multimeter?

To check an AC capacitor with a multimeter, set the multimeter to the capacitance setting. Disconnect the capacitor from the circuit and touch the multimeter leads to the capacitor terminals. The multimeter should display a reading close to the capacitor's rated capacitance. If the reading is significantly lower or higher, the capacitor may be faulty and in need of replacement.
