Exam 9: Analog and Digital Multimeters

A precision resistor connected across a meter movement for the purpose of bypassing a specific fraction of the circuit's current is called a meter ______________.

What is the term for a DMM that specifies how many places can be used to display the digits 0 to 9, regardless of the decimal point?

Two types of multimeters used by technicians are: analog volt-ohm-milliammeter and a digital multimeter.

Usually the ohms-per-volt rating of a voltmeter is

Multitester is another name for a(n)

Voltmeter loading can be appreciable in ______________ circuits.

The ______________ at the bottom of a DMM's display is used only to show the relative magnitude of the input compared to the full-scale value of the range in use.

Looking at an analog meter from the side results in an optical error called ______________.

When the insertion of a current meter increases the circuit current above that which exists without the meter present, the effect is called current meter loading.

A DMM uses a ______________ display to indicate the value of the measured quantity.

An accessory probe that can be used with a multimeter to measure dc voltages up to 30 kV is called a(n)

When the insertion of a current meter reduces the circuit current below that which exists without the meter present, the effect is called meter ______________.

Voltmeter loading can be appreciable in

A digital multimeter usually has an input resistance of about

The ohm scale increases from right to left and is called a

Digital multimeters are generally easier to use because

When the ohmmeter leads are open, not touching each other, the ohmmeter

The loading effect is minimized by using

What type of meter consists of an internal battery, the meter movement, and a current-limiting resistance?

The digital multimeter (DMM) is the most common measuring instrument used by technicians.
