When measuring current drawn from a DC power supply, what does the ammeter placed in the circuit appear as?
- AAn additional load
- BA high value resistance
- CA low value resistance
- DA perfect conductor
Correct answer: C — A low value resistance. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
An ammeter must be placed directly in the path of the current, so it needs to let electricity flow through it without blocking the way. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
