What is full scale deflection?

Full Scale Deflection is equal to the max value on a scale or meter. If a thermometer reads from -20 degrees to +100 degrees, the full scale deflection = 100 degrees and the range = 120 degrees


What instrument is used to measure amperage?

A: it is actually a meter that reads voltage caused by current flow. Basically any voltmeter can measure current flow by measuring the voltage drop across a very small [in value ] shunt Resistance's AC the current can be measured by induction on a coil


What is low power factor watt meter?

A wattmeter reads the true power of a load, regardless of its power factor.


A 24v dc motor reads 10 meg-ohms between one of the power terminals and the case of the motor what should be the reading?

That sounds quite good since the main winding should be insulated from the case. 10Mohm is a very large resistance it is well within normal range of the motor.


If a digital multimeter displays 0000 when reading amperage what should the technician do to get a more accurate reading?

If a digital multimeter displays 0000 when measuring amperage, the technician should first check the meter's settings to ensure it's configured for the correct measurement type and range. Next, they should confirm that the test leads are properly connected and that the circuit is active, as an open circuit or a blown fuse could also result in a zero reading. If everything appears correct and the meter still reads 0000, the technician may need to test the multimeter on a known live circuit to rule out a faulty meter.

How do you test ignition coil on a snowmobile?

you cant you can test it with an ohm meter if it reads 000 theres no resistance and its bad if it reads an open its bad you want around a couple hundred ohms


Is a transmission range sensor the same as a transmission speed sensor?

No, the range sensor reads what gear or "range" you have shifted into.A speed sensor reads the speed of an item.No, the range sensor reads what gear or "range" you have shifted into.A speed sensor reads the speed of an item.


On the 10a range the meter shows 2.56 does this mean two fifty six thousandth's amps?

No. The "10A" range means "please don't pass more than 10A through the meter while it's switched to this range".The display reads the current directly, i.e. 2.56 Amps.


How do you test ignition coils on a Lincoln LS?

First, see if the each coil is getting the required voltage from the ignition switch (probably 12V). If they are, you can check the resistance of the coil with a simple volt meter. Should read minimal resistance. If the meter reads OL then the coil windings are open (defective/bad).


When a multimeter is set to measure resistance what reading would you expect when the probes aren't touching?

If the test leads are not in contact with anything, the needle or pointer of an analog meter will be resting at the left most position. This is represents an infinite amount of resistance, or an "open circuit"; it is also safe to say there is the no continuity, or path between the black and red probes.


If a multimeter reads zero on the ohm scale is this high or low resistance?

zero is low resistance


How does a Digital Multi-Meter or DMM measure resistance?

A DMM measures resistance by passing a known current through the object you are measuring and reads the voltage. You can then calculate the resistance using the equation V=I*R. R=V/I So for 1mA and a return voltage of 1V the resistance must = 1 KOhm. R= 1/0.001 = 1000 Ohm

Why energy meter reads negative power?

It may do this if you have the leads to the meter connected to the wrong ends of the battery.


How do you check continuity with analog multimeter?

All well known multi meters come with operating instructions. If you don't know how to use one, I highly recommend you don't! Messing around with electricity can get you a severe shock or even kill you. Check with an electrician if there are no instructions with your meter. regards gl347
