How Do You Measure Voltage, Current & Resistance With A Meter?
An autoranging digital multimeter, one of the easiest multimeters to use, can be used to measure voltage, current and resistance. If you want to make the measurements all at once though, you will have to use at least two meters. Either way, to make the measurements you will have to connect the meters differently for each type of measurement. You will also have to change the settings on each meter and use different jack connections for each type of measurement. Connect the meter for a resistance measurement. Insert the red probe’s plug into the Volt/Ohms jack and the black probe’s plug into the common (ground) jack. Set the range switch on the ohmmeter to Ohms. Place the red probe on one side of the resistor and the black probe on the other. Note the value on the display. The reading is the resistance of the value of the resistor. Connect a circuit that contains a battery and resistor. Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the left lead of a 100,000 ohm resistor. Next con
