Question:

Is there a universal definition of electrical continuity, in terms of maximum ohms for the circuit?

For example, a typical multimeter measuring just 25 ohms in a closed circuit will not show continuity by beeping.

Answer:

The definition of electrical continuity is that the current will be closed by electrons and molecules. The ohms, is the resistance to the circut being closed completely, usually determined by a nominal factor in communication and audio equipment. 25 ohms is a high resistance. In other words, 4 ohm speakers will be almost twice as loud with the same applied volume than 8 ohm speakers. So your 25 ohm measurement is taking out most of the current. You are creating the resistance to the 100% continuity by 25 ohms. Ted Taff money911.ws
