Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #1144 (Set 39)

If you disconnect and arrange both ends of a conductor of a multi-conductor cable without any contact between the individual conductors, what would a low ohmic value between the ends of a single conductor indicate?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — continuity of the conductor

A low ohmic value between the ends of a single conductor, when isolated, indicates a complete and unbroken path for current. This demonstrates continuity, meaning the conductor is intact and suitable for carrying electrical current without interruption.
