The series resistor in a test pencil serves to limit the current flowing through the circuit when the pencil is used to detect voltage. This protection helps prevent damage to the tester and ensures user safety by reducing the risk of electric shock. Additionally, it allows for safe measurement of high voltages by ensuring that the current remains at a manageable level.

How do you test a resister in a blower?

To test the blower motor resistor, unplug the resistor connector. Each blower motor switch input terminal on the resistor must have continuity to the resistor output terminal, which is connected to the circuit going to the blower motor. If the blower motor resistor continuity does not check OK, replace the faulty resistor.You need a multimeter to test the resistor block and there should be continuity between all terminals.

How do you test to identify a bad resistor?

First you need to know the value of the resistor. Follow the link for a handy resistor calculator After determining the value of your resistor simply test the resistor with an ohmmeter to see if it is at true value. General use should be within + or - 5%


When writing with a pencil you are performing a hardness or streak test?

When writing with a pencil, you are performing a form of a hardness test rather than a streak test. The hardness of the pencil's graphite core determines how dark or light the line appears on paper, which relates to the pencil's grade (e.g., H for hard, B for black). A streak test, on the other hand, involves rubbing a mineral across a surface to observe the color of its powder, which is not applicable to writing with a pencil. Therefore, pencil writing primarily assesses the hardness of the graphite.


How do you test a blower motor on a 1997 Jeep Cherokee to determine if the resistor or the motor is bad?

spin the motor, if its raspy or rough, any play in it, replace it! i should have done that first! i went through 2 resistors. im bummed!
