Question

Which of the following will NOT be observed when a multimeter (operating in resistance measuring mode) probes connected across a component, are just reversed?

• A. The multimeter shows an equal deflection in both cases, i.e., before and after reversing the probes if the chosen component is a resistor.
• B. The multimeter shows NO deflection in both cases, i.e., before and after reversing the probes if the chosen component is a capacitor.
• C. Multimeter shows a deflection, accompanied by a splash of light out of connected and NO deflection on reversing the probes if the chosen component is LED.
• D. The multimeter shows NO deflection in both cases, i.e., before and after reversing the probes if the chosen component is metal wire.

Answer 1

The correct option is B The multimeter shows NO deflection in both cases, i.e., before and after reversing the probes if the chosen component is a capacitor.

The multimeter shows deflection in both cases, i.e., before and after reversing the probes if the chosen component is a capacitor.

Hence, option $\left(B\right)$ is NOT observed.
