When the measured voltage decreases because of the additional load current for the meter, the meter is said to be
A) accurate and expensive
B) non-operational
C) loaded up
D) loaded down

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the measured voltage decreases due to the additional load current for the meter, it is referred to as being "loaded down." This term describes the effect of the meter's own impedance drawing current, which can affect the circuit being measured, especially in high-impedance circuits.
