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.
A: A VOM can measure the voltage across the load. To test the current if the current surpasses the VOM range just add a very small resistor in series with the load and use ohms law to find the current since you have the voltage drop.
To test a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) resistor, use a multimeter to measure its resistance at room temperature. Then, immerse the resistor in a controlled heat source (like a water bath) and monitor the resistance as the temperature increases; it should decrease as temperature rises. Alternatively, you can use a simple circuit with a known voltage and measure the current to calculate resistance at different temperatures. Comparing these values to the NTC resistor's specifications will confirm its functionality.
I think it's a test for a shorted armature.
the method can not be used in the case of a d.c series motor

how do test a variable resistor
its easier to undo the motor and test that if that isn't working then it will more than likely be the resistor
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.

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 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.
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!
If you are missing the lower speeds but still have high speed, the resistor is bad.

The 'lead' or graphite in a pencil is softer. Try writing on paper, the pencil will write, the real lead will not
