In addition to voltage, current, and resistance, what is another measurement a multimeter can perform?

• A. Frequency
• B. Humidity
• C. Capacitance
• D. Temperature

Answer: (C)

Capacitance is another measurement a multimeter can perform when it includes a capacitance function. A capacitor stores electrical energy, and its value is measured in farads. In capacitance testing, the meter applies a small signal to the component and determines how much charge it can store, or how it responds to the test signal, to compute the capacitance. This lets you verify whether a capacitor is within tolerance or identify a failing one. Other options like humidity or temperature aren’t standard electrical tests on a basic multimeter, and frequency testing is only available on more advanced models, not on every meter.
