Yes, or a circuit with a resistance higher than the capability of the meter, which would be unusual.

Yes, an infinite reading on an Ohmmeter usually indicates an open circuit. This means that there is a break in the circuit, preventing the flow of current and resulting in the high resistance reading.

When you connect a multimeter across an open component what is the reading?

When a multimeter is connected across an open component, the multimeter will display an infinite or overload reading. This indicates that there is no electrical continuity or path for current flow through the component, as it is disconnected or broken.


A zero reading on an ohmmeter means the circuit or component is open is this true or false?

This is false. A zero reading is what you get when you press the probes of themeter together with nothing between them, to make sure the meter is working.That's about as closed as the circuit under test can get.


How do you find out the un known resistance value?

1.Use of ohmeter. Connect the ohmeter terminals to the the ends of the unkown resistance and take the reading. Adjust the range to give a good accuracy. 2. Use of colour codes. This applies if the unknown resistance is of a resistor with visible colour codes on it.


How do you test a horn relay in a 1993 Plymouth Sundance where the relay clicks when button is pressed but horn doesn't sound?

Relays can be a pain sometimes. There are two acceptible methods for checking relays ( that you can do at home anyway) the first and easiest is to simply swap it with a known good relay of the same specs. if this is not possible then the only other way is with an ohmeter ( a quality multitester is a must have for any do it yourselfer). compare the suspect relay to it's connector there should be four wires, two thin (control circuit) and two thick (power circuit). you need to connect your ohmeter across the power circuit. and connect a jumper wire to each control circuit terminal. connect one jumper to the ground post on your vehicles battery and touch the other to the positive for no more two seconds at a time while watching your ohmeter. If the relay is working properly you should have less then one ohm showing. if the reading is high, or the tool does nothing, you've found you're problem, otherwise, start following wires and checking for voltage, or check the whole system by jumping the power circuit. check the control circuit with an ohmeter, turn the switch on with battery disconnected and key in run position and check ohms across the relays empty connector, more than 2 ohms means a short or bad connection. good luck and be careful out there eh.. PS... use a stick or something between the horn and seat to keep the switch closed while you check the control circuit ( one person can bleed brake systems with this technique).


What is the maximum insulation resistance reading on a 800A busbar?

infinite


What if you have a negative kvar reading?

A negative KVAR reading can be eliminated by adding an inductor to the circuit.


What happens to the ammeter reading if resistor is removed?

If the resistor is removed from the circuit, the total resistance in the circuit decreases. This causes the total current in the circuit to increase, which would result in an increase in the ammeter reading.

What does a ampermetre do in a circuit?

Spelt: AmmeterIt measures the current flowing around the circuit. In different places in the circuit, the reading may be higher or lower.
