MULTIMETER READING Flashcards
instrument used to find the strength
of current flowing around an electrical circuit when connected in series with the part of the circuit being
measured.
Ammeter
measuring instrument used to find the voltage
levels around an electrical circuit when connected in parallel
with the part of the circuit being measured
Voltmeter
measuring electrical resistance, which is
expressed in ohms. In the simplest ___________ the
resistance to be measured may be connected to the instrument in parallel or in series.
Ohmmeter
measure electricity, just like you would
use a ruler to measure distance, a stopwatch to measure time, or a scale to
measure weight. It can measure different things- voltage, current, and resistance
Multimeter
How do I measure current?
-Connect a multimeter in series to measure the current flow through a lightbulb,
How do I measure voltage?
-Connect a multimeter in parallel to
measure the voltage drop across a lightbulb
