A meter probe has which feature?

• A. Is an inert conductor
• B. Has a digital display
• C. Has a dial on it
• D. Produces a current path

Answer: (C)

When you’re reading an analog measurement, the value is read from a dial. A meter probe for this type of instrument works with a circular dial and a moving needle, so the reading is read directly off that dial as the needle points to the scale. Digital displays are common on digital meters, not on the probe itself, so the dial is the feature that enables reading the value in this context. An inert conductor isn’t a special feature of a probe, and producing a current path is just what a conductor does in circuits, not a distinctive characteristic of the probe.
