🔍 Key Concepts

• Focus on which instrument uses a clamp around a conductor to sense current without breaking the circuit. • Remember that a clamp-on ammeter for "relatively heavy AC currents" will typically have a large jaw opening and be clearly marked for AC amps. • The question specifies an analog display, so look for a moving-needle scale rather than a digital screen.

💭 Think About

• Among the meters shown, which ones clearly have clamp jaws, and which of those show a needle scale instead of digits? • Which clamp-type instrument also has a selector dial with ranges for AC volts and resistance (ohms), not just current? • Does any non-clamp meter fit all parts of the description (heavy AC current, clamp action, AC volts, resistance, analog)? If not, eliminate them.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that your choice has a clamp jaw built into the body of the meter, not just test leads. • Confirm that the display is analog (needle and scale) rather than digital numbers. • Check the function/range markings for AC amps, AC volts, and ohms all on the same selector dial.
