What Is Continuity Testing?
Posted by Marc Piloian on November 16, 2021
In simple terms, a continuity test verifies that current will flow in an electrical circuit (i.e. that the circuit is continuous). The test is performed by placing a small voltage between 2 or more endpoints of the circuit. The flow of current can be verified qualitatively (e.g. by observing a light or buzzer in series … Continue reading “What Is Continuity Testing?”
