A multimeter can be used to measure which of the following sets of electrical quantities?

• A. Resistance, magnetic field and current
• B. Wattage, conductance & capacorange
• C. Voltage, current and resistance
• D. Current voltage & magnetic field

Answer: (C)

A multimeter is designed to quantify three fundamental electrical quantities: voltage, current, and resistance. It measures voltage by placing the probes across two points to determine the potential difference. It measures current by inserting the meter into the circuit so the same current flows through it. It measures resistance by applying a small internal current and reading the resulting voltage to calculate R. These are the core measurements most meters provide, while magnetic field, wattage, conductance, or capacitance require specialized equipment or additional meter features.
