Why would never measure resistance in a circuit carrying a current?

If the circuit is carrying current then that means that the load (resistance) is in the circuit. if an ohm meter is connected in the live circuit then there would be some voltage drop at the ohm meter but as the meter has very less resistance, this would damage the instrument.


What meter must NEVER be connected to a circuit when the circuit power is turned on?

An Ohmmeter.


What a Ohm meter measures in a circuit?

Resistance


What must be disconnected from a circuit under test before connecting the ohm meter to the circuit?

The power source must be disconnected from the circuit under test before connecting an ohm meter to prevent potential damage to the meter or the circuit. This ensures that there are no active voltages present while taking resistance measurements.


Circuit continuity is measured using?

Circuit continuity can be tested by using an ohm meter.


When measuring current always place any type of meter in series with the circuit--is this true?

No. While it is true that one can measure current at any point in a circuit by breaking the circuit at that point and inserting the meter, not any meter will do it. One must use an ammeter to measure current.


How do you test the power in a circuit?

A volt meter will do the job.


How is current in a circuit checked?

How to check the amperage of an electrical circuit?

To check the amperage of an electrical circuit, you can use a clamp meter. Simply clamp the meter around one of the wires in the circuit to measure the current flowing through it. Make sure to set the meter to the appropriate amperage range before taking the reading.
