How to use a multimeter

Question

Accepted Answer

A multimeter is a versatile tool used to measure electrical quantities such as voltage, current, and resistance.

Start by selecting the appropriate measurement function on the multimeter (e.g., voltage, current, resistance).
Ensure the multimeter is set to the correct range for the expected value.
Connect the test leads to the appropriate terminals on the multimeter.
Place the test leads across the component or circuit being measured.
Read the measurement value on the multimeter display.
Take note of the unit of measurement and any decimal places.
For example, to measure the voltage across a battery, set the multimeter to the voltage function, connect the test leads to the battery terminals, and read the voltage value on the display.
