Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. Instruments used for measuring electrical quantities are generally classified as analog or digital meters.
2. A simple galvanometer, by itself, has a very limited use; the most useful galvanometers are scaled as macroammeters.
3. Meter manufacturers generally make meter shunts of a material called manganin (a copper-nickel-manganese alloy) rather than copper.
4. The quality of a voltmeter is indicated by its conductivity, that is to say, by the amount of current required to force the pointer to the end of the scale (full-scale deflection.).
5. To measure very low resistance values, a volt-ohmmeter is used.
