Question 166Electricity & Electronics - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is D) continuity of the conductor. When you disconnect and arrange both ends of a conductor in a multi-conductor cable without any contact between the individual conductors, a low ohmic value between the ends of a single conductor would indicate that the conductor has continuity. This means the conductor is intact and there are no breaks or faults along its length. The other options are incorrect because: A) a partial ground would indicate an issue with the insulation or connection, not just continuity; B) an infinite resistance would indicate a break in the conductor, not continuity; and C) the lack of a short circuit does not necessarily mean the conductor has continuity.
