| Continuity
is a path for current flow. It can be measure with an ohmmeter. A copper wire used to connect components on a proto board is an example of a path for current flow. We say that continuity exists when there is a very small resistance between the ends of the wire (almost 0 ohms). A copper wire is equivalent to a proto board strip. The ohmmeter will display an open circuit message (OC) when there is no continuity. This is equivalent to a very large resistance or an open circuit. |
