    Very useful for a quick no nonsense demonstration of the use of a multimeter.

    "in parallel to the part you want to measure" this sentence needs a fair bit of context to make any sense. are you trying to say with respect to only if i was to be performing this specifically on a breadboard or something? did i miss a different part of the video that is linked? why is this the assumed set up?

    I have an issue and question. I have that same multimeter. When I connect the probes to battery terminals to measure voltage, the number very slowly climbs up to its voltage, instead of instantly. Why might that be?

      Hi - we haven't seen this occur with any of our multimeters, so can't say for sure. The most common issue we see is a blown fuse when trying to measure current.

      Perhaps the battery is low or the multimeter just cant sample fast enough?

      This is a very low-quality multimeter. I've seen these being given away free with a Harbor Freight coupon. There are many options for a higher quality multimeter that, if you take care of it, can last you decades. Home Depot and Amazon are good sources. Also Harbor Freight upped their game in DMM's recently. You don't need to spend more that $30 for something that will return its value many times over. For reference: Fluke is the platinum standard for DMM's but you don't need to shell out that kind of $$$ to begin learning.

    I check the voltage of my power supply at it becomes negative voltage is that okay?

    what if you have a single cable you want to measure? can you use the hot cable for red probe and use the other on something grounded to close the circuit and measure the power?

    This question may sound silly, but please forgive me. I am new to electronics. If I understand correctly, I should connect the probes in parallel when measuring DC voltage and put the probes in series when measuring current/amps. Is that right?

      That is correct - you may find our full multimeter tutorial video helpful: ua-cam.com/video/ts0EVc9vXcs/v-deo.htmlsi=5dGIa5yZaQ2A7K3E

    Is it possible to measure the voltage of a battery pack? And how?

    What would the reading be if you measured that LED but had the multimeter set to the 200 DC range? The reason I ask is because I’m getting a reading of 189 for a 36v battery on the 200v range and that doesn’t seem possible

      Hi - unfortunately we can't really help troubleshoot with individual multimeters in UA-cam comments, if you find a forum dedicated to electronics where you can post pictures of your setup, you may be able to get more help.

    What would it mean if i turn the dial to 2000m and measure it ? What would be different?

    • @Science.Buddies
      @Science.Buddies  9 місяців тому +1

      2000m is the 2000 millivolt range so the value displayed on the screen would be in millivolts instead of volts. You cannot measure a value over 2000mV (2V) with that range.

    • @ronaldschild157
      @ronaldschild157 9 місяців тому

      It's best practice to always begin your measurement with the largest scale of the multimeter and work down in resolution. @Science.Buddies began with something in the middle of the voltage range because he knew the circuit is limited to only a few volts based on the battery pack powering it.
