How to Use a Multimeter for Beginners Electricity powers nearly every aspect of our modern world, and understanding how to measure electrical values is essential for engineers, technicians, and DIY enthusiasts. A multimeter is a fundamental tool for diagnosing electrical problems, testing circuits, and ensuring safety. This tutorial will guide you through the basics of using a multimeter, including measuring voltage, current, and resistance . 1. What is a Multimeter? A multimeter is an electronic measuring device used to test various electrical parameters, including: · Voltage (V) – Measures the potential difference between two points in a circuit. · Current (A) – Measures the flow of electric charge. · Resistance ( Ω ) – Measures how much a component resists the flow of electricity. There are two main types of multimeters : 1/Analog Multimeter – Uses a needle and dial for measurement. 2/Digital Multimeter (DM...
