36. Volt-Ohm-
Milliammeter
It is an equipment that
combines three functions:
as a VOLTMETER that
measures both ac and dc
voltages; an OHMMETER
that measures resistance;
and MILLIAMMETER that
measures small amount of
dc current.
37. In a circuit,
• CURRENT is the flow of electrons.
• VOLTAGE is the electrical potential
difference between two points.
• RESISTANCE is something that resists the
flow of electrons.
Current is measured in Amperes or A
Voltage is measured in Volts or V
Resistance is measured in Ohms or Ω
38. Volt-Ohm-
Milliammeter
As safety precautions in the maintenance
of this instrument, the following should be
observed:
• Always rest the function switch at
250V AC if an OFF position is not
available in the instrument.
• For current and voltage measurements,
always set the function switch in the
correct setting which is a little higher
than the expected current or voltage
present in the circuit.
• Place the instrument in a cool dry place,
away from any magnetic devices, and
free from vibrations.

40. Oscilloscope An oscilloscope (commonly
abbreviated CRO, for cathode-ray
oscilloscope, or scope) is a piece

(vertical axis) plotted as a
function of time or of some other
voltage (horizontal axis).

50. ELECTROMAGNET Answer each question below in
the space provided.
What is an electromagnet and how is it different from a permanent magnet?
How can you increase the strength of an electromagnet, and what factors affect its strength?
What are some practical applications of electromagnets in our daily lives,
and how do they work?
An electromagnet is a type of magnet that is created by passing an electric current through a wire coil.
Unlike a permanent magnet, an electromagnet can be turned on and off by controlling the electric current.
The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by changing the number of turns,
current, or core material. Coil size, distance, and temperature also affect the strength.
Answers will vary but may include: electric motors, doorbells, MRI machines,
scrapyard cranes...
