🔍 Key Concepts

• How an ohmmeter indicates a short circuit versus an open circuit • Typical behavior of a digital multimeter (DMM) when its resistance test leads are touched together • The meaning of an "OL" (over limit) indication on an ohmmeter scale

💭 Think About

• Think about what the resistance should be when two points are directly connected with no load between them. • Recall what "OL" usually represents on a DMM and whether that matches a short or an open circuit. • Consider whether different DMMs may show slightly different values when the leads are shorted and why that might be.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what resistance condition (very high vs. very low) corresponds to a short circuit on an ohmmeter. • Check what your own or a typical DMM displays when you touch the two probes together in ohms mode. • Confirm what "OL" stands for on resistance ranges (often over range / open circuit), and whether that aligns with shorted leads.

Question 1 of 20

When configuring a digital multimeter as an ohmmeter, what will MOST likely be displayed on the screen when the test leads are shorted together?

A reading of "OL" ohms will be displayed.

A reading of residual test lead and internal resistance will be displayed (typically .2 to .5 ohms).

A reading of 0 ohms will be displayed.

B or C could be correct depending upon the digital multimeter.
