In the Ohms position, which measurements can you obtain?

• A. Voltage, Current and Power
• B. Continuity, Resistance and Capacitance
• C. Frequency and Phase
• D. Temperature

Answer: (B)

Ohms mode centers on resistance and related checks. It uses a small test current to determine how much a component resists current flow, so you can read the resistance directly. Many meters also include a continuity check in this range: if the circuit is complete, the resistance is very low and the device often beeps, confirming continuity. Some meters also offer capacitance measurement in the same range, estimating a capacitor’s value by observing how it charges/discharges with the test signal.

So, in this position you can obtain continuity, resistance, and capacitance measurements. Voltage, current, and power require other modes; frequency and phase are from AC analysis; temperature needs a temperature sensor or thermocouple.
