How To Measure Volts, Amps, Watts, & Ohms with a Multimeter

Volts, Amps and Ohms have a direct relation with each other through Ohm's Law. Check out the video to find out more and how current and voltage differs through the use of a multimeter.

Thank you so much for such a contribution to the world of Engineering, That great Explanation is quite clear, so impress

So volts are the traffic?
Amps are the number of lanes on the highway for the traffic to flow?
More amps means more lanes of traffic?
Resistance is where some of those lanes are closed further down the road - so the traffic has to slow down?

can u be specific like negative probe of the multimeter needs to be connected to the neutral pole of the bulb holder?

[Earzone]

Why is every galco presenter such a catch ; )

[Razehell]

This is how informative videos should be!

You cannot slow electric flow, it is going to flow same speed. You can restrict electric flow meaning that you can restrict the quantity .

"Where voltage is supplied, current is drawn." This is false. She should say, "Where voltage is supplied, current is available."
Also, current is not slowed by resistance. Just reduced or limited.

Perhaps you could try use the converter . If a high voltage needs to be generated from a low voltage, a boost converter can be used. This represents one of the three elementary switching regulator topologies and requires only two switches, an inductor, and input and output capacitors.

也许您可以尝试使用转换器。 如果需要从低电压产生高电压，可以使用升压转换器。

coulombs are the amount of electrons, the Ampere is the number of coulombs flowing through a circuit per second. this is similar to watts and joules per second. great video!

I retired from a desk job, so this is all new to me. I learned the other day that screwdriver wasn't just a drink I had last night, its also a tool... 😱

[flat-earther]

So if I want to check how many amps/watts an electric motor draws I just insert the multimeter's 2 leads between the live wire so current will flow trough the meter, and select meter to read ac current?

We love this video, very informative.

[jaceknows]

3:04 what # is she referring to "take this # and multiply by 24?" Equals how much watts then?

[paulosyenew]

Thanks a lot. This video really helps.

（翻译自我的英文版评论）也许你可以尝试使用转换适配器。 如果需要从低电压产生高电压，可以使用升压转换器。

Why didn’t you show the settings of the dial???

[lgg]

Did you guys get a look at that True Fluke?! Mmmmm that was hot!
🤣🤣🤣

How to measure the volts and amps my laptop draws while its charging and powered off?

How to do the same measurements while I'm using the laptop and charging it at the same time?

Thanks!

[augustopolon]

very good explanation ....thank you MA'AM Katie Nyberg so gorgeous

[samuelaboli]

simplified explanation, thanks, but what product of multimeter easily measures dc amps, really need one
