V. Evaluation

A. Multiple Choice: Choose the letter of your answer on the line before the sentence.

___C_ 1. It is located at the right portion of the range. It is usually marked ACV 500; 250; 100
and 10. This voltage range is used if the multi tester will measure the amount of AC
voltage.
a. Range Switch b. DC current range
c. AC voltage range d. Ohmmeter scale

__B__ 2. It is that part of the multi tester which moves across the scale when measuring
resistance, voltage or current. The point where the needle stops, gives the reading of the
multi tester.
a. milliammeter scale b. deflecting pointer
c. selector switch d. Zero-Ohm adjuster

___A_ 3. An instrument used for measuring electric current. Its basic units of measurement are
milliampere and ampere represented by the capital letter A.
a. Ammeter b. Voltmeter c. Ohmmeter d. VOM

__C__4. It is an instrument used to measure current and must be connected in series with the
circuit.
a. Voltmeter b. Ohmmeter
c. Ammeter d. Galvanometer

___D_5. It is used only when the multi tester is functioning as an ohmmeter. It is adjusted every
time the range of the ohmmeter is changed.
a. milliammeter scale b. deflecting pointer
c. selector switch d. Zero-Ohm adjuster

B. Conclusion

Multi tester or volt-ohm-milliammeter is important tool to measure AC or DC

voltage, electricity or resistance. There are three test instruments namely, voltmeter
which measures electrical potential between its terminals, ammeter measures flows
between its terminals, and ohmmeter measures the electrical resistance between its
terminals. And there are also the important parts of the multi tester the ranges, the range
switch, the zero-ohm adjustment, scales, and therefore the deflecting pointer.

 Multi tester is extremely important in electrical or electronic work, it’s
because they will be used to troubleshoot electrical problems in of industrial and
household devices like equipment, motor controls, domestic appliances, power supplies,
and wiring systems.
