Phillips Industries’ latest Qwik Tech Tips helps to explain the electrical measurements on a multimeter.
The company says an understanding of electricity works hand in hand with the use of a multimeter.
The tips explain that electricity is characterized into three basic units: voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R). Voltage is measured in (AC or DC) volts, current is measured in amps and resistance is measured in ohms.
Most tests performed with a multimeter have a parameter of a minimum and maximum range in which the unit of electricity can be accurately measured. Voltage is equal to the current times the resistance V=IR.
