Using a multimeter in a circuit is easy and pretty cool! Here’s how you can check voltage and current:
Measuring Voltage:
Turn the multimeter to the voltage setting (look for "V").
Connect the black probe to the ground or negative side.
Touch the red probe to the positive side.
Look at the display to see the voltage!
Measuring Current:
Switch the multimeter to the current setting (look for "A").
Carefully break the circuit and connect the multimeter in line.
Put the circuit back together with the probes still connected.
Check the display to read the current!
Using a multimeter is a fun way to learn about how circuits work!
