You see that the selector switch in the x10 position

and then you see a measurement of 15 Ohms on the
meter. What is the actual resistance which is being
measured?
Note: Remember; the selector switch is in the x10 or
times 10 position.

You see that the selector pointed at 10 DCV on the

selector switch.

This is the meter reading. What would you read if

the selector switch was at 10 DCV?

This is 250 ACV on the selector switch

This is the meter reading. What would you read if the

selector switch was at 250 ACV?

This meter reading is approximately 227 VAC.
