(247).jpg "Quiz On Meter Usage And Circuit Diagnosis - Quiz")
How good are you at understanding electrical engineering and electrical measuring tools? Check out this quiz based on meter usage and circuit diagnosis to test your memory for the same. An electrical or energy meter is a measuring tool that measures the total power consumed over time. Identifying the components or connections responsible for malfunctioning a defective circuit board is called the circuit diagnosis. Here, we will ask questions about insulators, electrical circuits, and Ohm's law. Can you pass this quiz? Play it out and test yourself.
