What do meters measure?

A meter is a measuring instrumen. An
ammeter measures current, a voltmeter
measures the potential difference (voltage)
between two points, and ohmmeter measures
resistance.

A multimeter combines these

functions, and possibly some
additional ones as well, into a single
instrument

How Use of
Multimeter?

Outlook of Multimeter

Pointer and Scale

single pointer with different scale for different measurements

Selection

Switch

select to measure
voltage (ac or dc),
current or resistance.

Reading
from
Multimeter
As the Selection
Switch is at
DC25mA, the
multimeter is used
as a ammeter with
fsd 25mA.
The 250A scale is
used.
Reading = 17.5mA

Using as an Ohmmeter
With

the input
terminals shorted,
set zero by turning
the 0 Adjust
Knob.
Remember to set
zero again if the
ohmmeter range is
changed.

Reading from
Multimeter
As

the Selection
Switch is at x10, the
reading has to be
multiplied by 10.
The reading is 90, so
the resistance is 900
.

Measuring AC Voltage
If

AC voltage is
measured, remember
to use the output
terminal instead of the
positive terminal.
The negative
terminal is still used.

Digital Multimeter
Same

as analogue multimeter but

it has the advantage of having a
large internal resistance.
If the reading is larger than the
range, the reading cannot be
shown.
The COM terminal is always
used. The other terminal can be
10A, AmA, V depending
on the measurement.

Digital Ohmmeter
In

the figure shown, the resistance of the

resistor is 0.824k.

There

is no need
to multiplied 2k
for digital
ohmmeter as it is
the range, but not
the conversion
factor.

Measuring AC/DC
Make

sure that the

switch is switched to
the correct side for DC
or AC measurement.
