Question 171Electricity & Electronics - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passWhat can a typical common analog or digital multimeter be used to measure?
Avoltage, power, and current
Bfrequency, current, and resistance
Cvoltage, resistance, and current
Dvoltage, frequency, and current
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) voltage, resistance, and current. A typical common analog or digital multimeter can be used to measure these three key electrical quantities - voltage, resistance, and current. This is because a multimeter combines the functionality of a voltmeter, ohmmeter, and ammeter into a single instrument, allowing it to measure these fundamental electrical properties. The other options are incorrect because a multimeter does not directly measure power (A), frequency (B and D), or other specialized quantities like those listed in the incorrect answer choices.
