Question 156Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passWhat is an ohmmeter used to measure?
Athe amount of current flow in a circuit
Bvoltage between two points in a circuit
Ccircuit power
Dcircuit resistance
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) circuit resistance. An ohmmeter is a device used to measure the resistance in a circuit, which is the opposition to the flow of electric current. Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω), and an ohmmeter allows you to determine the resistance value of a component or the overall resistance of a circuit. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) An ammeter is used to measure the amount of current flow in a circuit. B) A voltmeter is used to measure the voltage between two points in a circuit. C) A wattmeter is used to measure the power in a circuit.
