Open


What is infinity on a multimeter?

If is being used as an ohmmeter it usually means an open circuit. A switch may be open, or a wire is broken (not a short circuit)


When using an ohmmeter what should be the results for an NPN transistor?

When the positive lead is at point "P" which is the base and the negative lead is at either of points "N" which is either the emitter or the collector, then the ohmmeter should have a very low reading or reads short circuit. Also, when the negative lead is at point "P" and the positive lead is at either points "N", then the ohmmeter should have an infinite reading when the meg ohm range.


At which end of the ohms scale are resistance measurement more reliable the zero end or the infinity end?

On an analog ohmmeter, measurements are more precise and more accurate at the zero end of the scale.

No. An Ohmmeter measures electrical resistance to the flow of current.


Why Whirlpool duet electric dryer will run but wont heat?

There are two circuits in your dryer. One runs the motor, the other the heating element. Something in your heating element circuit is broken, and the most likely culprit is the element. To check it, unplug the dryer, take the back off, find the element, disconnect one of the two wires and put an ohmmeter across the two connections. If it reads infinity, change the element.


What is the configuration of the ohmmeter?

An ohmmeter is connected in parallel to a resistor. Be sure that there is no power in the circuit when testing.


Should the ohmmeter be connected to the circuit while the power is being applied or only when the circuit is turned off?

Turn off the supply before using the ohmmeter,it will damaged your ohmmeter when supply is present.


What is ohmmeter?

An ohmmeter is a type of electrical metre that measures electrical resistance. When in resistance-measuring mode, multimeters also operate as ohmmeters. An ohmmeter measures the resistance of a circuit or component by passing electricity through it.
