Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The given statement is false.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The device that helps in measuring the resistance of the circuit or the component of the circuit is called Ohmmeter. There are two types of ohmmeters.

  • Digital Ohmmeter
  • Analog Ohmmeter

An analog ohmmeter is an instrument that displays the reading with the help of a needle that points towards the marking on the ohmmeter. It measures the reading from the right to the left. The readings obtained from the ohmmeter are not very precise. Before using an ohmmeter, the circuit should be disconnected from the regular power source; otherwise, it may result in damage to the ohmmeter and injury to the user.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the given statement is false.
