Uses
- Measuring Voltage (Volts): Multimeters can measure both DC and AC voltage, which is essential for checking the power supply and electrical circuits in lab equipment.
- Measuring Current (Amps): It helps in determining the current flowing through circuits, important for experiments involving electrical devices or power sources.
- Measuring Resistance (Ohms): This is useful for testing resistors, cables, and connections in circuits, ensuring they have the proper resistance values.
- Continuity Testing: A multimeter can check if there’s an unbroken path in a circuit, which is essential when troubleshooting equipment or circuit boards.
- Diode Testing: It can test the functionality of diodes, verifying if they are working correctly or damaged.
- Capacitance Measurement: Some advanced multimeters measure capacitance, allowing users to test capacitors in electrical circuits.
- Frequency Measurement: It can also be used to measure the frequency of AC signals, important in labs working with alternating current and oscillators.
