Intro to Multimeters - How To Measure Voltage, Current, Resistance, Capacitance, & Inductance

This electronics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into multimeters. It explains how to use a digital multimeter to measure voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, and inductance. It explains how to measure DC voltage and AC voltage. DC represents direct current while AC stands for alternating current. This video briefly explains how to use ohm's law to calculate the current flowing in a circuit as well as the voltage drop measured across a resistance.

Almost every technical video I find leads me here. You are a legend!

[mikeearls]

ive been unable to get any information on this guy - background, age, employment, education, nada. Whoever he is, he has taught me a lot

[talalalobaid]

Wow, you are probably gonna teach everyone about everything

[arnavkumar]

I have known this channel for 8yrs and I under😂stand all the basics of math, science, SST.

Modern digital multimeters have many abilities, there are a wide range available to suit most engineers needs. These start from basic models costing only a few Pounds Sterling which are capable of measuring voltage, resistance and current, to expensive and exotic meters.
The more expensive meters are capable of performing not only the three functions mentioned above but depending on the needs of the service technician there are meters to measure capacitance, frequency, temperature, transistor specifications

[Blank-wvuf]

Honestly, you're my saviour for first year engineering


Please never change your channel name in tribute to how it all began.

[sazdaz]

How do you know everything? Literally every topic I've come back to you for help.

[_A_]

Is they're anything you don't know? You're brilliant. I'm glad you're sharing your knowledge.

[KingofKraft]

next week this man will be explaining quantum physics and it'll make sense

[saman]

This video needs more likes to thank for this great intro!!! Full with information for a noob like me.

[pspmaster]

You explained this simply and properly. If they showed this to classmates in lab last year no one would have burned out dmm current fuses haha.

Nice job. You can never emphasize too greatly the two mistakes beginners make when using meters: never try to measure resistance in any circuit or component that has voltage applied, and never attempt to measure current until you have double checked and triple checked that your meter is connected in series with the load (resistance). Think of the effective resistance of the meter itself itself when configured for the the two functions: as a voltmeter, the meter has a very high internal resistance, and you can think of it as almost an open circuit. When configured as an ammeter, it has a very low internal resistance. Think of the meter and its leads in this instance as a dead short. What will happen if you connect a dead short, such as a short length of wire, across a voltage source or voltage drop? Bad things. Never select a current function or connect the leads to a current terminal on the meter, until you are certain that you have the leads connected in series with the current-limiting resistance, or load, of the circuit. Happy probing.

Send this guy a thousand years back into time so he can help out the ancient people modernize so that we will be 10x advanced.

Well, this was a great introduction to these devices; I don't own one yet though this will help me decide which type will serve me best when I need to buy one!

[ornessarhithfaeron]

I don't know why I clicked on this video. I'm an electrical engineer, I've been using these for years.

I totally agree with the reviews that this is a fantastic video. Loaded with information. I am a novice and appreciate the time in making this video. I am not trying to POKE HOLES but I noticed that at 4:47, it shows '6v = I(250), and I = 0.024A'. Shouldn't it be ' 6v = R(250)'. If i'm wrong, I stand corrected. Anyway, thanks for making this video. Very informative.

Hello sir Organic Chemistry Tutor can you please create a playlist for derivative and integral calculus? Thank you so much :)

[miemusicjobe]

Been testing Fender single coil guitar pickups.. Easy to test the DC resistance k ohms but they give a reading of Henries which I believe is microhenries, so is it possible to test the inductance (MicroHenries) and capacitance with a Digital Multimeter ?? You explain everything so well ... Thanks

[nyklyfe]

Thank you, your videos help so much. Btw, Do you know Java, C++ by any chance? If so, please make a video about them. 👍

[SHEMZILLER]

Man you actually got this far o remember when you only thought chemistry please don't change the name
