When is an analog multimeter preferred to a digital multimeter?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. When adjusting circuits for maximum or minimum values
An analog meter's moving needle makes it easy to see trends when adjusting for a maximum or minimum, such as a peak or dip. Digital displays jump around and are harder to follow.
Tip: Needle shows peaks and dips.
