What are the black and red things hanging off a multimeter?
They are called test leads, you would use them to connect the multimeter to the points that are to be tested.
How do you correctly test if a circuit is not live?
Use a multimeter and test if there is a voltage drop or current over the wire circuit.
Why does the multimeter show the RMS value of sine wave but not for the triangular wave?
Because your multimeter is not an adequate device for this kind of measurement. Use the correct multimeter to display the triangular wave value.
What is the common jack on a multimeter used for?
Use for multipurpose
What tester is using to check continuity of cable?
You use an ohm meter to check for continuty, low ohm reading, on the center pin between the two ends of the cable. You would then check for continuity between the shield, or outside connector. If both of those are good, you should also check between one of the center pins and the shield to ensure their isn't a short on the cable.
How do you test a coaxial cable?
Use a multimeter selected to test continuity. And some have an audible beep to tell if your coax if fine. No beep means your cable is broke.
What multimeter modes could you use to determine if a wire is whole or broken?
Resistance and Continuity
How do you check household fuses to find out which one is not working?
Use a multimeter set to continuity position and touch one probe from your multimeter to each conductor. If you hear a tone from the multimeter then your fuse is good.
How do you test an abs sensor?
To test an abs sensor for a Lexus ES you will need to use a multimeter. The multimeter will determine if the abs sensor works or not.
How do you use a multimeter?
A multimeter is an instrument used to check for AC or DC voltages, resistance and continuity of electrical components, and small amounts of current in circuits. This instrument will let you check to see if there is voltage present on a circuit.

What tools would you use to verify that your new cable meets Cat6 standards?
A multimeter can be used to test that cables are straight-through and not a cross-over. I've used a battery and torch bulb, with two wires as probes, to test cables without any problems. Take care to place each probe on the correct contacts at each end of the cable.
How do you test battrey?
If you don't have a battery load tester, you'll have to use a digital multimeter to test for voltage and amperage.
How do you correctly test if a circuit is not live?
Use a multimeter and test if there is a voltage drop or current over the wire circuit.
How do you test that inverter battery is exhausted or need to be replaced?
Use a multimeter to measure the voltage.
What are some test equipment that is available for use in diagnosing and repairing communications?
Multimeter for starters
