Which of the following precautions should be taken when measuring in-circuit resistance with an ohmmeter?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. Ensure that the circuit is not powered
Before measuring resistance in a circuit, make sure the circuit is not powered. Any voltage in the circuit will throw off the reading and can damage the ohmmeter.
Tip: Power off before you measure ohms.
