How to use multimeter as voltmeter DC voltage test

USE Multimeter as voltmeter The DC voltmeter is used to measure direct current voltage or electrical pressure of a circuit. the unit of measure is in volt(V). Multi-meters can be used as voltmeter and this is done by connecting the instrument across the circuit . It requires correct application of the polarity. Your circuit must be powered up in conducting this test Procedure:  Check the...

How to use a multimeter as Ohmmeter

Ohmmeter- an ohmmeter  is used to measure resistance. Connected in parallel or across,  It can be used to check and measure the continuity of the circuit . When using  an ohmmeter it does not require correct application polarity. Resistance test procedure:     the purpose...

Using a Multimeter/multi-tester: Preliminary setup and Safety precautions

Multi-tester (VOM-volt/ohmeter) also called multimeter is designed to measure different magnitudes of electrical units:voltage,current and resistance. It incorporates the functions of a voltmeter,ohmmeter,and Milli-ammeter into one device. A multimeter maybe Digital (DVOM/DMM) or Analog. Parts...

Power in parallel Circuits

Power dissipated by each individual resistance is simply added to find the total power dissipated by the series circuit. This same procedure also applies to parallel circuits. If there are five resistive branches in a parallel circuit and each was dissipated 1 watt of power, the total power...

Series and parallel resistance circuit :explanation

The familiarity of the few circuit building blocks is important in  understanding complex circuits. In this post I will explain the most important ideas in  DC circuits. From my previous posts I discussed about the Ohms law . This is a continuation of the post about  simple direct...
