Brakes/Electrical Quiz 1

Where should the negative lead be placed if you want to check continuity of the fuse?

Where should the red lead be placed if you want to check available voltage going to the switch?

Label the parts of the circuit.

Bulb

Switch

Ground

Use the multimeter reading to answer the question.

Is the fuse in the picture good or is it blown?

• The fuse is blown.

• The fuse is good.

• Not enough information.

• Can't answer, the test leads are in the wrong location.

In the circuit shown, what voltage would you expect to see on the meter if the battery had a charge of 12 volts?

• Not enough information

• 12 volts

• OL

• 0 volts

Draw the meter leads on the diagram for testing the voltage drop of the lightbulb. Also, draw the correct voltage reading on the multimeter. (The battery is at 12 volts and the circuit is the same as it is in the diagram.)

Where should the red lead be placed if you wanted to check available voltage going to the bulb?

Does the picture indicate a good voltage drop reading for the parts of the circuit that are being measured? Explain your answer in 1-2 complete sentences.
