The continuity tester can distinguish
between high-, medium-,
and low-resistance connections.
When there is a conductance
between the inputs, which are
linked to small probes, a current
flows from the +9 V line to
earth via R1 and R2. The consequent
potential difference, p.d.,
across R2 is used to determine
the transfer resistance.
