Auto-polarity in a digital voltmeter means that it

  • A.reverses the input leads internally when a negative voltage is applied
  • B.measures both polarities simultaneously and displays the larger
  • C.rejects a negative input as being out of range for the instrument
  • D.displays a minus sign rather than requiring the leads to be reversed

Answer: D

Correct answer: displays a minus sign rather than requiring the leads to be reversed

Auto-polarity means the instrument senses the sign of the input and shows it, so the operator need not reverse the leads to read a negative voltage - a convenience an analogue meter cannot offer, since its pointer would simply drive backwards against the stop. Nothing is reversed internally and nothing is rejected.
