Final answer:
A receptacle tester indeed indicates voltage presence by touching or being near an energized circuit, which is true. Battery testers measure terminal voltage under load to assess battery condition.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that a receptacle tester indicates the presence of voltage when the test tip touches or is near an energized circuit is True. These devices are used to detect voltage in outlets and different parts of electrical circuits. However, the main purpose of a battery tester is different; it measures the terminal voltage under a load to determine the condition of a battery. Battery testers utilize small load resistors to intentionally draw current to see if the terminal voltage drops below an acceptable level. The internal resistance is tested indirectly; if it's high, the battery is considered weak, as indicated by low terminal voltage. This is applicable both to large-scale testing, like that aboard the USS Nimitz, and to small-scale battery testing with digital displays for terminal voltage acceptability.
