The "Beep Test" and Resistance Measurements

This is one of the easier labs. Here are what the students need to do/measure:

- For continuity, all they need is a beep. A continuity test can also be called a "beep test".
- The resistance across a wire should measure between 0.2 and 0.8Ω. If it is higher than that, the multimeter needs a new battery.
- The resistance across the light socket (with the light bulb in) should be around 0.7 to 1.2Ω. If it is higher than that, the multimeter needs a new battery.
