Which of the following would need a 4½ digit digital multimeter ?

  • A.1.999 mA
  • B.-1.999 µV
  • C.1000 V
  • D.1.4856 mV

Answer: D

The reading that needs a 4½ digit meter is 1.4856 mV.

A 4½ digit display has four full digits (0-9) and a leading half digit that can only be 0 or 1, so its maximum count is 19999. The reading 1.4856 has five digits with a leading 1, which fits exactly.

1.999 mA and -1.999 µV have four digits with a leading 1, which a 3½ digit meter (maximum count 1999) can already show, and so can 1000 V. Only 1.4856 mV requires the extra digit.
