Question

1.)How would you connect a multimeter to measure the voltage across the 8 ohm resistor?

   a,b,c,d,e or f?

2.)Explain why the multimeter is connected in this way. (select one)

   a)Because of the design of the multimeter.

   b)The multimeter has to measure the voltage across the 8ohm resister only.

   c)The way the multimeter is connected does not matter.

   d)The multimeter has to measure the total voltage across the circuit.

3.)What design feature of a good multimeter allows you to connect it in the way indicated appreciably affecting the voltage across the 8ohm resister? (select one)

   a)It does not matter whether the internal resistance is low or high.

   b)The multimeter should have high internal resistance.

   c)It depends on the magnitude of the current through the 8ohm resister.

   d)The multimeter should have low internal resistance.

Explanation / Answer

1) e

2) b

3) b
