What is the correct way to test a relay

Multiple choice — select the best answer

ACheck for shorts between all terminals
BMeasure voltage drop across the relay
CCheck coil resistance and test continuity of contacts
DApply power to the relay and measure current draw

✓ Correct answer: C. Check coil resistance and test continuity of contacts To properly test a relay with a DMM, you should check coil resistance by measuring across the control terminals, and then verify continuity of the switch contacts both in their normal state and when the coil is energized.
