Suppose one ammeter probe is placed on the low side of a component and the other probe is placed on the high side of the next component in series, while the power to the circuit is on? What will happen and why? Choose the best answer and explanation below. O Nothing. Just as the multimeter is the energy source when measuring continuity and resistance, the ammeter provides the necessary charge to test current. For this reason, current can only be tested when power to the circuit is off. O The LED will get brighter, because there is less resistance in series with the LED after the ammeter is connected. O Nothing. Both ammeter probes are in contact with the same conductor, so both probes are at the same potential. Since there is no potential difference across the ammeter, no current will flow through it. O The entire circuit will stop working temporarilly. The extremely low resistance of the ammeter creates a short circuit that provides an easier path for the current to follow, so no charge will flow through the other circuit components.

An AC electric motor is connected to a 240-V, 60-Hz source. A clamp-on ammeter with a peak hold function reveals that the motor has an inrush current of 34 A when the motor is first started. Your job is to reduce the inrush current to a value of 20 A by connecting a resistor in series with the motor. The resistor will be shunted out of the circuit after the motor is started. Using an ohmmeter, you find that the motor has a wire resistance of 3 . How much resistance should be connected in series with the motor to reduce the starting current to 20 A?
