Direct current (DC) is characterized by having a constant polarity, meaning that the flow of electric charge remains in one direction. Unlike alternating current (AC), which periodically changes direction, DC maintains a steady flow of electrons in a single direction. This property of DC makes it suitable for various applications such as batteries, electronic devices, and certain types of motors that require a consistent flow of electricity in one direction.Rate this question:

When using a multimeter to measure resistance, the technician should:
-
Disconnect the circuit from the control equipment
-
Set the meter to the amperes setting
-
Leave the circuit connected to the control equipment
-
Put the meter in series with the circuit
Correct Answer
A. Disconnect the circuit from the control equipmentExplanation
When measuring resistance with a multimeter, it is important to disconnect the circuit from the control equipment. This is because the multimeter needs to have a direct connection with the component being measured in order to accurately determine its resistance. If the circuit is not disconnected, the multimeter may measure the resistance of other components or paths in the circuit, leading to inaccurate readings. Additionally, leaving the circuit connected to the control equipment may pose a safety risk, as it could interfere with the measurements or cause damage to the multimeter.Rate this question:
