Answer to Question #119541 in Electricity and Magnetism for Jatin Gupta

Question

In a Digital multimeter what will be voltage reading if we connect both terminals to each other (in voltage mode or resistance mode).

Answer 1

When we will connect the two terminal of the multimeter in the voltage mode or in the resistance mode the reading of the multimeter will be 1. It means it is out of range or infinite. If it is on any ohm range, it should say "1" because your probes are not touching anything.
