An electrician is installing switches and receptacles in a house where the wall and ceiling coverings are installed. She knows that one end of a two-wire Type NM cable is in Box A but does not know whether the other end is in Box B or Box C. Using the procedure for using a continuity tester outlined at the end of Chapter 4 in the textbook as a guide, explain how she could use the continuity tester to determine which box contains the other end of the cable
