In troubleshooting an electrical circuit, if an ohmmeter reads some value of resistance when properly connected across a component, what does it indicate?

  1. The component is faulty

  2. The component has continuity and is not open

  3. The circuit is shorted

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: The component has continuity and is not open

If an ohmmeter reads some value of resistance when properly connected across a component, it indicates that the component has continuity and is not open. This means that there is a continuous path for electricity to flow through the component, ruling out options A and C which suggest a fault or short in the circuit. Option D is also incorrect as the ohmmeter is reading a value of resistance, indicating that the component is not open or completely disconnected. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it best explains the indication of the ohmmeter reading.
