Across
- 4. The actual flow of electrons that requires you to physically break the circuit to measure.
- 8. The type of connection used when measuring voltage, where you just touch probes to the two legs of a component.
- 9. The electrical pressure or "push" in a circuit, measured without disconnecting wires.
- 10. The electrical obstacle measured in Ohms that requires the circuit to be powered OFF.
- 12. What you must do to a component (like pulling a resistor out of the breadboard) before measuring its Ohms.
- 13. The color of the probe that plugs into the VΩmA port for 99% of your classroom tasks.
Down
- 1. The test setting that checks if two things are connected and makes a "BEEP" sound if the loop is closed.
- 2. The specific tool function inside the multimeter used to measure electrical flow.
- 3. The tiny glass safety device inside the meter that pops to protect it if you force too much power through.
- 5. The "Swiss Army Knife" of electronics that combines three diagnostic tools into one handheld device.
- 6. What the "O" stands for when the display reads "OL" (meaning the loop is broken or resistance is too high).
- 7. The type of connection used when measuring current, where the meter acts as a bridge for electrons to flow through.
- 11. The color of the probe that ALWAYS plugs into the COM (Common) port on the meter.
