Question 1

What is the primary issue with open-circuit measurements at RF?

All current ceases
Parasitic capacitance allows current
Voltage only exists

💡 Hint: Think about how an open terminal behaves at RF.

Question 2

True or False: Short-circuit measurements can lead to zero voltage readings.

True
False

💡 Hint: Remember that 'short-circuit' is not as ideal as it sounds.
