About: Continuity test

An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In electronics, a continuity test is the checking of an electric circuit to see if current flows (that it is in fact a complete circuit).A continuity test is performed by placing a small voltage (wired in series with an LED or noise-producing component such as a piezoelectric speaker) across the chosen path. If electron flow is inhibited by broken conductors, damaged components, or excessive resistance, the circuit is "open".

dbo:abstract
  • In electronics, a continuity test is the checking of an electric circuit to see if current flows (that it is in fact a complete circuit).A continuity test is performed by placing a small voltage (wired in series with an LED or noise-producing component such as a piezoelectric speaker) across the chosen path. If electron flow is inhibited by broken conductors, damaged components, or excessive resistance, the circuit is "open". Devices that can be used to perform continuity tests include multimeters which measure current and specialized continuity testers which are cheaper, more basic devices, generally with a simple light bulb that lights up when current flows.
