🔍 Key Concepts

• Ohm’s law and resistance readings on a multimeter • Difference between low resistance, high (infinite) resistance, and short circuits/opens • What a normal continuity test looks like on a good conductor

💭 Think About

• When you place the meter leads on opposite ends of the same conductor, what reading would you expect if the wire is intact and unbroken? • How would the reading look if the conductor were broken (open circuit)? Would that be low, high, or infinite resistance? • Does a very low resistance between the two ends of one conductor tell you anything about a ground fault to another conductor or to the cable shield/hull?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm what your meter displays for continuity versus an open circuit (often shown as OL or ∞). • Think about whether you are measuring between end-to-end of one conductor or between that conductor and ground/another conductor. • Ask: Does a low resistance reading end‑to‑end say anything about a short circuit to something else, or only about that single path you’re testing?
