The capacitor has no resistance which your direct current ohm meter can show.

A zero reading on an ohmmeter means the circuit or component is open is this true or false?

This is false. A zero reading is what you get when you press the probes of themeter together with nothing between them, to make sure the meter is working.That's about as closed as the circuit under test can get.


Does an Ohmeter that has an infinite reading indicates an open circuit?

Yes, an infinite reading on an Ohmmeter usually indicates an open circuit. This means that there is a break in the circuit, preventing the flow of current and resulting in the high resistance reading.


What if a ohmmeter reads infinity?

You have an open circuit.


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)


How much current flows in a circuit with an open circuit?

None.AnswerIt depends! A capacitor is an open circuit, yet a.c. current flows quite readily. And d.c. current will flow for a very short period of time.


What happen ohmmeter hook up to a live circuit?

Depending on the voltage, make sure to be safe, but I don't think that it is too bad, although it does depend on the circuit


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

An Ohmmeter.


What are the errors in reading ohmmeter?

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.


What step is unique to connecting an ohmmeter in the circuit?

check the circuit with a voltmeter to make sure the circuit is not powered
