Multi-Meters

A multi meter, also known as a multi tester or VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter), is a device used to measure electrical values such as voltage, current, and resistance. Multi meters are essential tools for anyone working with electronics, electrical circuits, or appliances.

There are two main types of multi meters: analogue and digital. Analog multi meters use a needle and a dial to display readings, while digital multi meters display readings on a digital screen. Digital multi meters are more accurate and easier to read, but some people prefer the simplicity and durability of analogue models.

Multi meters typically come with probes that are connected to the device being measured. The red probe is used to measure positive voltage, while the black probe is used to measure negative voltage. To measure current, the probes are placed in series with the circuit being measured. To measure resistance, the probes are placed across the component being measured.

Multi meters can also be used to test for continuity, which is a measure of whether or not a circuit is complete. They can also be used to test for diode polarity and to measure capacitance and frequency.
