How to Measure Voltage, Current and Resistance? How to Use a Multimeter for Beginners?

In this video, I will show you how to basically measure resistance, voltage and current with a digital multimeter. These measurements are used in electrical panels and many other places for fault detection. By the end of this lesson, you will have learned how to make these measurements.

Digital multimeters are measuring devices that can measure quantities such as voltage, current, and resistance. The measured values are displayed on a digital display and allow easy and direct reading, even by first-time users. Many other measurements can be made with multimeters.

Digital multimeters have a function switch. Whichever measurement we are going to make, we need to bring this switch to that function. For example, if we are going to measure current, we bring it to the current function. There are two probes and we plug them into the probe inputs. The black probe is plugged into the common input that says com. The red probe is attached according to which measurement we will make.
