Let's start with DC voltage, one of the simplest and most-used multimeter measurements. The DC voltage measurement is used to determine the difference in electrical potential between two points in a ...

Back in the early days of electricity, lab workers could measure electric current in a circuit using an ammeter (galvanometer) and voltage using a voltmeter. From there, they could calculate ...

Part of Design and Technology Electronic and microelectronic control systems Using Ohm’s Law (V=ꞮR), you can calculate the expected values for voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit. Ohm's law.

This multimeter add-on is called the Half Ohm. It allows you to measure small resistance values, and can be used to track down shorts on a PCB. The board acts as a pass-through for both probes. When ...

Isabellenhütte has developed the Micro-Ohm-Meter IMR-B-R020 for applications in research, development and labs as well as in manufacturing and industrial applications. The Micro-Ohm-Meter is deployed ...

If you were to ask a random Hackaday reader what their most fundamental piece of electronic test equipment was, it’s likely that they would respond with “multimeter”. If you asked them to produce it, ...

How do you know if a resistor is correctly restricting the flow of electricity? Using a multimeter is an obvious answer. However, there is more to it than meets the eye. This article will explain what ...

Multimeters. They've been described as the tape measure of the new millennium. But what exactly is a digital multimeter (DMM) and what can you do with it? How do you make measurements safely? What ...
