A standard multimeter does NOT measure which of the following?

  1. Voltage

  2. Resistance

  3. Frequency

  4. Current

The correct answer is: Frequency

A standard multimeter measures voltage, resistance, and current, but does not measure frequency. Frequency is a measure of how many times a current oscillates in a given amount of time, usually measured in Hertz (Hz). Multimeters do not have the capability to directly measure frequency, but some models do have functions that can approximate frequency. However, the accuracy of this measurement may not be as reliable as that of a specialized frequency meter. Therefore, frequency is not one of the standard measurements that a multimeter can provide.
