The input impedance of a digital voltmeter is high, typically ten megohms, so that

  • A.the instrument can measure current as well as voltage on the same terminals
  • B.the reading is independent of the range that has been selected
  • C.it disturbs the circuit under test very little
  • D.the noise picked up by the leads is attenuated before reaching the converter

Answer: C

A source of appreciable internal resistance would be loaded by a low impedance instrument and its voltage would fall, so the reading would be low. Ten megohms loads all but the most delicate sources negligibly, and the very best instruments offer more still.
