Answer 1

It would C I think that’s the answer

Answer 2

The answer is

C. Split phase motor

Step-by-step explanation:

Clamp meters rely on the principle of magnetic induction to make non contact AC current measurements. Electric current flowing through a wire produces a magnetic field.

Which is similar to basic mode of operation of electric motor and split phase motor is a type of electric motor.

What is a a clamp on meter?

Clamp meters are electrical testers which have wide jaws that are able to clamp around an electrical conductor. Originally designed as a single purpose tool for measuring AC current, clamp meters now include inputs for accepting test leads and other probes that support a wide range of electrical measurements, the jaws of a clamp meter permit work in tight spaces and permits current measurements on live conductors without circuit interruption.
