HOW TO USE A MULTIMETER – Measure Voltage, Current, Resistance and Continuity

Just how do you use a multi-meter properly. This is an often asked question by many trades people, DIYers, electronics enthusiasts and car mechanics. A multi-meter is simple to use if set up properly and the results displayed can be very useful if read correctly. And this is often the difficulty, having the confidence that the correct range has been selected in order to give meaningful results and then being able to interpret the results and do something with them. In this video we will start from the beginning, the basics, and explain the different functions available, the settings to choose and show you some real examples of testing taking place. For those of you that may use resistors, we also have several videos on the resistor colour code and the following link will take you to a popular LearnElectrics video on this subject … 4 Band Resistor Colour Code https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV2gO4YNQv8 This video is No.91 on our YouTube channel where we have videos on a wide range of electrical topics.
