As shown in figures "B" and "C" of the illustration, what should be the switch position and which test lead terminal jacks should be used if your intent is to measure DC currents anticipated as high as 200 milliamps? Illustration EL-0047
β’ Carefully read the switch position table (Figure B) and identify which position is specifically labeled for mA current measurements rather than volts or ohms. β’ Look at the input jack labels in Figure C and match which jack is designed for milliamp (mA) current up to 400 mA and which jack is the common (COM/return). β’ Think about safety and meter protection: for a DC current expected up to 200 mA, which jack gives you the proper range and fuse protection without going to the higher 10A scale?
β’ In Figure B, which switch position symbol corresponds to mA current (not A, V, or Ξ©)? Is that the same position used for both AC and DC mA? β’ In Figure C, if one jack is labeled 400 mA and another 10 A, which one is more appropriate for a current expected to be no higher than 200 mA? And which jack must always be used as the reference/common terminal? β’ Compare each answer choice: does it pair the mA switch position with the 400 mA jack and the COM jack, or is there a mismatch?
β’ Verify that the chosen switch position in your answer is the one in Figure B that includes mA in its label, not A or V. β’ Make sure one of your selected jacks is the COM (common) jack from Figure C. β’ Confirm the other selected jack is the one labeled for 400 mA, not the 10 A or voltage/ohms jack.
