ACV SCALE
After selecting the desired range which is 250 and connecting the two test
prods to the AC outlet, the pointer stops at point in the ACV scale. Read it from
left to right. For example it stopped at 43, multiply it by the equivalent which is
5. The ACV measurement is 215 volts AC.
Example:
43 x 5 = 215 volts
Where 43 is the point where the pointer stopped and 5 is the equivalent of each
minor division.
DC Voltage Scale
DCV SCALE
After selecting the desired range and connecting the two test prods to
the designated test points, the pointer stops at a point in the scale. If the
pointer stopped at minor division 15 and the range used is x50, multiply 15 by
1, so the reading is 15 volts DC.
Example:
15 x 1 = 15 volts
Where 15 is the minor division where the pointer stopped 1 is the equivalent of
one minor division if the range is 50V DC
DC mA Voltage Scale

After selecting the desired range and connecting the two test prods to
the designated test point, the pointer stops at a point in the scale. If the pointer
stopped at minor division 6 and the range used is 2.5, multiply 6 by .05 so the
reading is .3 mA.
Example:
6 x .05 = 0.3 mA
Where: 6 is the minor division where the pointer stopped .05 is the equivalent
of one minor division using 2.5 range.

B. OHMS LAW
Ohm’s law states that, for a steady current, the current in a circuit is
directly proportional to the total EMF acting in the circuit and inversely
proportional to the total resistance of the circuit.
If we vary the voltage, we will discover that the current changes in
direct proportion. This means that if we double the voltage, the current
also
doubles. If we increase the voltage by 25%, the current increases by 25%.
If we decrease the voltage by 10%, the current decreases by 10%.
If we vary resistance, we will find that the current changes by
inverse proportion. This means that doubling the resistance causes the
current to decrease to half the original amount. Increasing (multiplying)
the resistance by any factor causes the current to be decreased (divided)
by that same factor.
V
I (current) = V (Voltage) or I=
R (Resistance) R
Example:
Suppose the resistance is known to be 12 ohms with an applied
voltage of 12 volts
Solution:
When solving a numerical problem, the proper procedure is to write the
symbolic formula first. Second, substitute the known values of the
variables on the right side of the equal sign. Last, perform the
arithmetic and write the result. Following this procedure with equation,
we have
V
I=
R
24 V
I = 12
= 2A
Now let the voltage be adjusted to 36V. Find the new current.
Solutions:

I = 12

2. Rearranging OHM’S LAW

a. A certain heater has a current of 1.5 A when driven by a 120-V source.
Calculate its resistance.
Solution:
V
R=
I
R = 120 V
1.5 A
= 80
b. Suppose that the heater is connected to a new voltage source,
causing the current to decrease to 1.375 A. Find the voltage of the new
source.
Solution:
The heater is the same, so R still 80 .
V=I R
V = (1.375 A)(80 ) = 110 V
Example:
Solution:
P = VI
= (24V)(0.25 A)
=6W
Solution: P
R=
I
= 100 W
1A
= 100 V
P = VI = V (V)
P = V²
R
Example:
a) A speaker is a load device that converts electrical energy into
sound energy and waste heat. The speaker has an internal
resistance of 8 . If a voltage of 15 V is applied, how much does the
speaker receive from the source?
Solution: P = V²
R
= (15 V)²
8
= 225 V

= 28.1 The equation is P = V² can be rearranged to solve for either of
the R other two variables, R or V.
V² V = PR
R=P
b) An electric circuit has a load resistance dissipated 45 W of power
across the source of voltage with a potential difference of 30 V.
calculate the resistance of the load in the circuit.
Solution:
R = V²
P
= 30 V²
45 W
= 900 V
45²
= 20
c) A 24 load resistance dissipated 96 W of power. Calculate the
applied voltage across the load resistance.
V = PR
= 96 W x 24
= 2304
= 48
d) For the 8 speaker, how much input voltage would be required
to increase the power to 40 W?
Solution: V = PR
= (40W) (8 )
= 320
= 17.9 V
There are also occasions when it’s necessary to calculate power from
knowledge of current resistance. Substituting V = IR into the power
formula
P = IV = I (IR) = I²R
P = I²R
e) A 16 loud speaker has an applied current of 1.5 A. Calculate the
power dissipated by the loud speaker.
P = I² x R
= 1.5² x 16
= 2.25 x 16
= 36 W
f) A rheostat has a 1.5 A of current that passes through its terminal.
What adjusted value of resistance will cause power dissipation of
12 W?
P
R=
I²
= 12 W
(150)²
= 12 W

PERIMETER OF A TRIANGLE
Example: 2.8 m
A rectangular tablecloth has a width 1.5 m and a length of 2.8 m. How
many meters of lace trimmings should be bought to make its borders?
P = 2L + 2W
= 2(2.8)+2(1.5) = 2(4.3)
= 8.6 m needed for the lace trimming

MATHEMATICAL COMPUTATION
A. ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS
Commutative Law
The first type of law is the commutative law. This law says that it
makes no difference in what order two numbers are added or multiplied.
For example,
3 + 7 = 7 + 3 = 10 and 3 x 5 = 5 x 3 = 15
For any two numbers a and b the commutative laws are,
therefore, a + b = b + a
axb = b x a
Observe, however, that subtraction and division are not commutative:
7 - 3 is not equal to 3 - 7
2 + 6 is not equal to 6 + 2
Associate Law
The second type of law is the associative law. This law states
that if three numbers are to be added or multiplied together, it makes no
difference if the operations start with the first and second numbers or
with the second and third. For example, in addition, if you want to add
6 + 3 + 2, you can do it in two ways. Using parentheses to indicate which
operation is to be done first, the two ways are as follows:
( 6 + 3 ) + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11
6 + ( 3 + 2 ) = 6 + 5 = 11
Note that operations in parentheses are always done first. In
multiplication, if you want to multiply 8 x 4 x 2, you can also do it in
two ways:
(8 x 4) x 2 = 32 x 2 = 64
6 x (4 x 2) = 8 x 8 = 64
For any two numbers a and b the associative laws are, therefore,
(a + b) = c = a + (b + c )
(a x b) x c = a x (b x c )
Observe that subtraction and division are also not associative. The
subtraction sign and the division sign apply only to the number that
immediately follows the sign moving from left to right. For example,
6 - 3 - 2 means (6 - 3) - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1
8 ÷ 4 ÷ 2 means ( 8 ÷ 4 ) ÷ 2 = 2 ÷ 2 = 1
Distributive law
Another important law of arithmetic which combines multiplication
and addition is the distributive law. This law says that multiplication
distributes over addition. For any three numbers a, b, and c,
a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c)
For example ,
2 x (2 + 4) = (3 x 2) + (3 x 4)
which correctly states that
2 x 6 = 6 + 12 = 18
The distributive law is important in algebra.
The order of operations in arithmetic is, moving from left to right.
1. Perform operations in parentheses.
2. Do multiplication or division.
3. Do addition or subtraction.
EXAMPLE:
Calculate the following:
3 x 19 - 36 + 6 ÷ 2
Solution: Apply the order of operations and perform multiplication and
division first as shown by parentheses :
(4 x 19) - 36 + (6 ÷ 2) = 76 - 36 + 3
B. FRACTIONS
Reducing fractions
The fraction line means division, but since 8 does not divide evenly
into 6 the fraction cannot be simplified to a whole number. However, it
can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing out common factors
(divisors) in the numerator and the denominator.
6/8 = 2/2 x 3/4 = 3/4
To reduce a fraction into lowest terms, it is not necessary to show
the factors before dividing. You can just divide the numerator and
denominator of the preceding fraction by 2 to get the result.
The following examples with fractions are designed to be done
without the calculator to reinforce your skills in arithmetic.
You can also first factor the numerator and the denominator into their
smallest factors and then divide out the common factors:
28/42 = 2/2 x 2/3 x 7/7 = 2/3
The smallest factors of a number are numbers that have no other factors
except one and the number itself. These smallest factors are called prime
numbers. For example, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and so forth are prime numbers.
It is important to emphasize again that you can only divide out
factors in the numerator and denominator of a fraction.. If numbers are
separated by a + or - sign , then they are not factors. Factors are always
separated by a multiplication signs. For example, in the fraction
5 + 1
5 x 7
4 is not a factor in the numerator but is a factor in the denominator.
You then reduce the result to lowest terms. However, you can divide out
common factors first that are in the numerator and denominator of either
fraction and then multiply. This simplifies the multiplication. Study the
next two examples, which show this procedure.
Adding fractions
Adding fractions is not as straightforward as multiplying fractions.
Calculators can add fractions as decimals, and some can add them as
fractions. However, it is necessary for you to understand how to add
fractions so that you can estimate results, recognize an incorrect answer,
and troubleshoot for the error. More important, to add fractions in
algebra requires first understanding the process in arithmetic.
Fractions can be added or subtracted only if their denominators
are the same. When the denominators are the same, you add the
fractions by adding the numerators over the common denominator.
1/8 + 5/8 1 5 / 8 = 6/8 = ¾
Observe that you always reduce the result if possible.
The rule for adding fractions with the same denominator is then
A/D + B/D = A+ B /D
Note that a fraction is a ratio of two whole numbers. The fraction 3/10
is a ratio of 3 parts to 10 parts. The equivalent fraction 6/20, 9/30, etc.
are all equal to the same ratio.
The process of adding two fractions whose denominators are
different is done as follows. Suppose you wanted to add the
fractions.
2/3 + 5/6
Since the denominators are not the same, you must first change
one or both, fractions to equivalent fractions with a common
denominator. You look for the lowest common denominator (LCD),
which is the smallest number that contains each denominator as a
divisor. Since 3 divides into 6 exactly, the LCD equals 6.
Change the fraction to an equivalent fraction by multiplying the
numerator and denominator by 2.
2(2)/3(2) + 5/6 = 4/6 + 5/6
C. DECIMALS
Decimals, then, are fractions with denominators of 10, 100, 1000, etc.
The number of decimal places equals the number of zeros in the
denominator as follows:
0.5 = 5/10
0.21 = 21/100
0.076 = 76/
1000
Percentages
A percentage (or percent) is a convenient way of writing a fraction
whose denominator is 100. The numerator is written with the percent
sign (%) which represents the denominator of 100. For example,
20% = 20/100 = 0.20
Note that 100% = and a percent greater than 100 represents a number
greater than one.

1. Examine the front panel of the VOM assigned to you. Locate the
function switch. This will be a multifunction switch with several
positions for measuring VOLTS, OHMS, & AMPS.
2. Jacks are located on the front panel for insertion of the test lead into
the jack marked “ Common” , or maybe just “-”.
3. Insert the red test lead into the jack marked “VOLTS/OHMS” or
simply “+”. These leads will be used for connecting to circuitry and/or
components.
4. Examine the meter face. There should be several scales with numbers
on them. (Note: There is usually one scale for resistance, located at
the top of the meter face, and several scales for AC and DC voltages
located below the resistance scale.
5. There may also be a front panel switch for selecting polarity and type
of voltage measurement. This will be labeled “ – DC,” “+DC”, and “AC”
. If your VOM has this type of switch, place it in the “ + DC” position.
6. On the meter face, there will be a screwdriver adjustment for zeroing
the meter movement. Locate this adjustment, and adjust the meter
movement to zero on left side of meter.
7. Place meter function switch on lowest OHMS position (usually Rx1).
Touch both test leads together, and observe movement of needle. It
should move to right side of scale. Adjust for zero on right side using
the “Zero Ohms” adjust on meter.
8. When finished, move the function switch to the highest voltage
setting. This will preserve the batteries in the meter as well as
protect against accidental damage to the meter if the next technician
forgets to change the function switch setting.
1. Insert the banana plug end of the black test lead into the
meter’s front panel jack labeled “Common”. On some meters this
jack is simply labeled “-”.
2. Insert the banana plug end of the red test lead into the front panel
jack labeled “+”. On some meters this jack is labeled “Volts/Ohms”.
3. Observe the position of the meter pointer. The pointer should be
exactly aligned with the “Infinity” symbol on the left side of the
meter face. (Note: this will correspond to the 0 reading on any of
the voltage scales.) The “Infinity” symbol looks like a number eight
laying on its side.
4. If the pointer is not aligned properly, adjust the mechanical zero
with s small screw driver. Be careful not to force the adjustment
beyond its limits, or to be rough in performing the adjustment. The
meter movement could be damaged.
5. Place the function switch on the lowest resistance scale. On most
VOMs this will be RX1. This simply means R times 1, or, in
other words the numbers on the resistance scale are to be read
directly. On most meters the Ohms scale will be the top scale.
Zero is to the extreme right on this scale, and infinity is to the
extreme left.
6. Connect the red lead to the black lead.
7. Observe the reading on the VOM meter face. It should be near zero,
on the RIGHT side of the meter face. If the reading of zero Ohms
using the “Ohms Adjust” or “Zero Ohms Adjust” on the front panel
of the meter.
8. Place the meter lead across the leads of the 47 ohm resistor in
your standard parts kit.
9. Repeat step 8 for the 10 ohm resistor.
10. Repeat step 8 for the 150 ohm resistor.
11. Place the meter in a higher scale that will allow you to read a 1
Ohm resistor
12. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to zero the meter on the new scale.
13. Repeat steps 8 and 9 for the 1 kilo ohm, 4.7 kilo ohm, and 10 kilo
ohm resistors.
14. Repeat this procedure for the 22 kilo ohm, 47 kilo ohm, 150 kilo
ohm, 2.2 mega ohm, and 4.7 mega ohm resistors, changing scale
as a appropriate to obtain the best readings (Note: The best
accuracy on the VOM resistance scales will be in the lowest half of
the meter face – the right side of the meter face.
1. Insert the banana plug end of the black test lead into the
meter’s panel jack, labeled “Common”.
2. Insert the banana plug end of the red test lead into the front panel
jack labeled “+”.
3. Place the function switch on the lowest resistance scale.
4. Connect the red lead to the black lead.
5. Observe the reading on the DMM meter face. It should be near
zero. If it is not, check your set up. Some DMMs include a “Zero
Adjust” on the front panel. Most do not, choosing instead to set the
meter for zero internally. If no problem is found (dead battery,
blown fuse, defective meter lead, etc.) notify the instructor. Most
DMM will read a few tenths of an ohm of resistance. This simply
represents the resistance of the test leads, and should be
considered “zero” for your meter.
6. Place the meter leads across the leads of the 47 ohm resistor in
your standards parts kit. Refer to the resistor color code to aid
in identifying each resistor.
7. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the 10 ohm resistor.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the 150 ohm resistor.
9. Place the meter on a higher scale that will allow you to read a
1 kilo ohm resistor.
10. Repeat step 5 to zero the meter on the new scale.
11. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the 1 kilo ohm, 4.7 kilo ohm, and
10m kilo ohm resistor.
12. Repeat this procedure for the 22 kilo ohm, 47 kilo ohm, 150 kilo
ohm, 2.2 mega ohm and 4.7 mega ohm resistors, changing scales
as appropriate to obtain the best readings.
1. Insert the banana plug end of the black test lead into the
meter’s front panel jack, labeled “Common”.
2. Insert the banana plug and of the red test lead into the front panel
jack labeled “+”.
3. Observe the position of the meter pointer. The pointer should be
exactly aligned with the 0 on the left side of the meter face. If the
meter has a mirrored meter face, align the needle (pointer) with its
image in the mirror for best accuracy.
4. If the pointer is not aligned properly, adjust the mechanical zero
with a small screw driver. Be careful not to damage the meter face
cover or the small plastic screw. Do not force the adjustment
beyond its limit.
5. Calculate the value of current that will flow in the circuit depicted
and schematic one and record it. Place the function switch on a
high enough scale to measure calculated current.
6. Connect the circuit showed in the schematic 1. Connect the red
lead to the bottom end of the 100 ohm resistor in schematic 1. and
the black lead to “-“ end of the battery.
7. Observe the reading on the VOM meter face. Record the reading.
8. Repeat steps 5, 6 and 7 for schematic 2.
9. Repeat procedure for schematic 3
1. Insert the banana plug end of the black test lead into the
meter’s front panel jack, labeled “Common”.
2. Insert the banana plug end of the red test lead into the front panel
jack labeled “AMPS” or “mA”.

panel jack, labeled “Common”. On some meters this jack maybe
labeled “-”.
2. Insert the banana plug in of the red test lead into the front panel
jack labeled “+”. On some meters this jack maybe labeled
“Volts/Ohms”.
3. Observe the position of the meter pointer. The pointer should be
exactly aligned with the 0 on the left side of the meter face.
4. If the pointer is not aligned properly, adjust the mechanical
zero with a small screw driver. Be certain to use care with this
adjustment, since this is rather an easily damaged part.
5. Place the function switch on a high enough scale to measure 1.5
volts. This varies from meter to meter, and will depend on the make
and model of your meter.
6. Connect the red lead to “+” and of the D battery, and the black lead
to “-” and of the battery.
7. Observe the reading of the VOM meter face. Record the reading.

Learning Outcome 3
MAINTAIN MEASURING INSTRUMENTS
To ensure that the meter is used safely, follow all the safety and
operating instructions.
1. Never use meter on the electric circuit that exceeds 3k VA.
2. Pay extra attention when measuring the voltage of AC30 Vrms
(42.5V peak) or DC60V or more to avoid injury.
3. Never apply an input signals exceeding the maximum rating input
value.
4. Never use meter for measuring the line connected with equipment
(i.e. motors) that generates induced or surge voltage since it may
exceed the maximum allowable voltage.
5. Never use meter if the meter or test leads are damaged o broken.
6. Never use uncased meter
7. Be sure to use a fuse of the special rating or type. Never use a
substitute of the fuse or never make a short circuit of the fuse.
8. Always keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probe
when making measurements.
9. Be sure to disconnect the test pins from the circuit when changing
the function or range.
10. Before starting the measurements, make sure that the function
and range are properly set in accordance with the measurement.
11. Never use meter with wet hands or in a damp environment.
12. Never use test leads other than the specified test leads.
13. Never open the tester case except when replacing batteries or
fuses. Do not attempt any alteration of original specifications.
14. To ensure safety and maintain accuracy, calibrate and check the
meter at least once a year.
15. It is a good idea to set the ammeter to the highest scale, until it
can be verified that the current is small enough to be safely read on
a lower scale; then reduce range to obtain reading.
16. Although the voltages you will be measuring have a very low
voltage, you are building habits to be used later with high voltage
circuitry. Do not allow your fingers to come in contact with the metal
probes on the meter.
17. Even though the output of the DC power supply is below 50
volts, you are developing safety habits that you will use with
higher, more dangerous voltages. Exercise caution in taking
voltage measurements to prevent from electrocution.
18. Even though the voltage across the resistors is very low, observe all
safety precautions for higher voltage circuits. Remember that you
are developing habits with low voltage circuits that you will use with
higher voltage circuits.
19. Be absolutely certain before energizing the power supply, that the
ammeter is connected in series with the circuit to be tested.
Ammeters should never be connected in parallel with a component.
To do so will cause the component to be short circuited through the
ammeter, and may damage the meter or circuit, or the power
supply. If you have any doubt, ask your teacher.
20. The ohmmeter is never used in a circuit with power applied. To
do so can damage the meter.
21. Remember that the ohmmeter should never be used in a circuit
that has power applied to it. Always turn off the power supply and
disconnect the leads from the circuit before measuring the
resistance in the circuit.
22. Always discharge a capacitor before handling it or before
troubleshooting the circuit it is installed in.
23. A transformer is an inductive device. As with all such devices, high
transient voltages can be generated by the transformer when it is
turned off. This is sometimes referred to as “kick-back”. Meters
should be set to high ranges or removed before powering the down
the circuit.
24. Be cautious of transient (kick-back) voltages generated by this
circuit while turning off. Meters should never be removed or set to
high ranges while doing so.
25. Be cautious of transient (kick-back) voltages that may be generated
by the coil when empowering down the circuit. Meters should be set
to high ranges before turning off this circuit.
26. Capacitors are capable of storing voltages for long periods of
time after being removed from the source. Make sure capacitors
are discharged before handling.
PROPER STORAGE
1. Do not reverse the leads (polarity) on the analog meter because you
may bend the pointer and cause it to be inaccurate.
2. Be careful to observe polarity when measuring DC.
3. Be certain the function switch is properly set (i.e. DC, AC, volts,
amperes, milliamperes, resistance).
4. When measuring an unknown voltage, always start at the highest
range available on the meter. Lower the range until the meter reading
is approximately in the center of the scale.
5. Always connect voltmeters in parallel with the potential difference
being measured.
6. Multimeters should be stored in the highest DC range when not in
use. This is a safety precaution to protect the meter. If someone tries
to measure voltage while the range switch is set too low or on a
resistance range, the meter will be damaged.
7. Use the proper function, range and polarity to protect the meter.
8. Never connect an ammeter into a circuit when the power switch is on.
9. Always be certain that the ammeter is inserted in series.
10. Be certain that the range is high enough for the current being measured.
If the current to be measured is unknown, start at the highest range
and work down until the meter reads approximately in the center of the
range.
11. Observe proper polarity when measuring DC, especially when using
an analog meter.
12. Turn the power off when measuring resistance.
13. Reset the range switch to the highest voltage range when you have
finished making resistance measurements.
14. Never measure resistance with the power on.
15. The measuring instrument cover is treated with antistatic coating.
Do not wipe it hard or clean it with volatile solvent. Use a soft brush
to remove dust.
16. Clean the measuring instrument before and after using.
17. Avoid giving the tester any exercise shock or vibration by loading it on
the motorbike and the like.
18. Keep off dust and moisture from the tester.
19. Do not leave the tester for a long time in places of high temperature
(higher than 55°C) high humidity (higher than 80%), and dew
condensation.
20. Replace the same voltage and current ratings of fuse, when
replacing .burned-out or defective fuse of measuring instrument.

INTERVIEW ANSWER KEY
1.
There are four basic operations in arithmetic: addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division. However, subtraction is the
inverse of addition, and division is the inverse of multiplication.
Therefore, the laws of arithmetic are defined only for addition and
multiplication. There are two types of laws that apply to addition and
multiplication.
2.
The first type of law is the commutative law. This law says that it
makes no difference in what order two numbers are added or multiplied.
For example,
3 + 7 = 7 + 3 = 10 and 3 x 5 = 5 x 3 = 15
For any two numbers a and b the commutative laws are,
therefore, a + b = b + a
axb = b x a
Observe, however, that subtraction and division are not commutative:
7 - 3 is not equal to 3 - 7
2 + 6 is not equal to 6 + 2
