Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #615 (Set 21)

What is an ohmmeter used to measure?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — circuit resistance

An ohmmeter applies an internal voltage source across de-energized components to measure opposition to current flow, yielding circuit resistance. Marine engineers rely on ohmmeters for continuity checks and troubleshooting, strictly ensuring circuits are isolated to prevent meter damage.
