Right Answer is:
A multimeter
SOLUTION
A single instrument that can measure voltage, current, resistance, diode forward voltage drop and transistor gain is called MULTIMETER.
Multimeter:
- A multimeter is an electronic instrument. It is mainly used to measure the three basic electrical characteristics of voltage, current, and resistance.
- It can also be used to test continuity between two points in an electrical circuit.
- The multimeters can not be used to measure electrical quantities such as frequency, charge, etc.
- The multimeter has multi functionalities like, it acts like ammeter, voltmeter, and ohmmeter.
- It is a handheld device with a positive and negative indicator needle over a numeric LCD digital display.
- Multimeters can be used for testing batteries, household wiring, electric motors, and power supplies.
