Exam 9: Analog and Digital Multimeters

The basis of the digital multimeter operation is a(n)

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

A digital multimeter uses a moving pointer and a printed scale.

When making a measurement, a voltmeter should always be connected in

Although a meter movement responds only to current in the moving coil, it is commonly used for measuring voltage by the addition of a high resistance in series with the movement.

The moving-coil arrangement is often called a Roentgen movement, after its inventor.

When testing a fuse in a circuit with power applied using a voltmeter, an open fuse will measure
