What else can I help you with?
If an open capacitor is checked with an ohmmeter the needle will?
. . be visible.
Using an ohmmeter the reading on a good 5 A fuse should be?
Using an ohmmeter, a good 5 A fuse should show a reading of 0 ohms, indicating it is a closed circuit with no resistance. If the fuse is blown, the reading would show an open circuit, often indicated by an infinite resistance or "OL" (over limit) on the meter display. Always ensure the fuse is disconnected from the circuit before testing to avoid inaccurate readings.
What are the units and symbols for resistance?
Ohms is the unit of measure and the symbol is Omega which looks a bit like a horseshoe with open end pointing down.
Does an open resistor measure 0 ohms?
No, an open resistor has a value of infinity. An open resistor typically will measure over 900 Megohms. A zero ohm resistor is exactly that, and will measure zero ohms. They are typically surface-mount devices.
What is the ohmmeter reading for open circuit?
The capacitor has no resistance which your direct current ohm meter can show.
What are the ohms in an open device?
The resistance [ohms] of an open electronic device is, by definition, infinite, just like a perfect insulator.
How do you read the ohmmeter scale?
To read an ohmmeter scale, first ensure the device is properly calibrated and connected to the circuit or component being tested. The scale typically displays resistance values in ohms (Ω), with lower values on one end and higher values on the other. Read the pointer's position against the scale marks, noting any multipliers (like x10 or x100) if present. If the ohmmeter shows "OL" or infinity, it indicates an open circuit with no measurable resistance.
What if a ohmmeter reads infinity?
You have an open circuit.
If an open capacitor is checked with an ohmmeter the needle will?

How will you test the condition for pn junction diode?
The simple solution if you are in the consumer repair business is to test it with an ohmmeter. Set the meter scale to x1. Connect the test leads to the diode and it will read either 10 ohms for a silicon diode or no reading. Reverse the lead connections and it must now read the opposite of the first two parameters. If you don't have about ten ohms in either connection then the diode is open. If you have 10 to 100 ohms in both connections then the diode is shorted or leaking. If you have no ten ohms in either connection then the diode is "open. Germanium diodes will read about 2-3 ohms on the flow side and ma show a little meter movement on the reverse connection.
What meter is used to bench check a motor for short or open winding?
Ohmmeter
When a needle of an analog ohmmeter indicates infinity the resistor being measured is?
Open
What are infinite ohms?
That is an open line.

Always ensure the fuse is disconnected from the circuit before testing to avoid inaccurate readings.
How do you detect the cause of an open circuit?
Ohms Meter
What does 0 ohms indicate?
0 ohms on your ohm meter indicates an open circuit; no resistance to the flow of electricity.
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)
