I have watched many videos on KZread, and they only test batteries, LED's, etc. on only one multimeter. This video makes it more interesting, because it show many different multimeters and what can and cannot do in non technical words. In another word. Simple words. 😁. Thank you.

This whole series is a wonderful service to Sparkfun customers and others. It is well organized, technically accurate, and very well delivered.

Thanks!

Brilliant video, just what I need and so concise and succinct.

I've been watching quite a few of your "Learn Electronics" videos, and they've all been great! It would be even greater still to have them available as a playlist. :)

I may have a minor speaker repair job to perform, however, l wanna make sure l'm doing things right. Thanx for making this tutorial!🙏

Oh sweet thank god this channel has a tutorial on this It's been ages since I've used one of these

Helpful information, thank you for sharing !

Thank you for this! Helped a whole lot!!!!!!!!! I just got given a new multimeter and now I know more on how to use it rather than just measuring voltages on my AA batteries!!! :oP

This one is really helpful, nice job :)

Thanks a lot, I appreciate your hard work. Now I really know how to use multimeter and I no more need to do the method of hit and trial to learn how to use it and burn the internal fuse in this dumb process.

Huge props for showing how to measure voltage drop! Such an incredibly handy skill for detecting problems when current is flowing in a circuit. The Rub...who actually buys or uses a non auto-ranging meter anymore? Cheers.

Thanks! And I concur - non-auto-ranging is annoying. I guess if you really don't want to spend a lot of money?

UWU helpfull :) i got a multimeter and i read the instructions but i didn't understand most of the symbols even though i had read up a ton about it so thanks ver ymuch was helpful :)

Excellent explanation bro

Great vid!!! thank you!!

MAGNIFICENT

Very informative liked subbed

Can you explain about the wires that go to different 'rings' of the plug in 9:45 ?

thank you so much

Very helpful. I except more capacitor testing videos

thank you

Thankes Bro

First! Great video... Hmmm. The USB Digital Multimeter seems pretty good for that low price!

depends on if it is optically isolated.

So if I want to verify that a system is deenergized I should measure the voltage os the unplugged, deactivated system and if the reading is zero it is safely deenergized, is that right?

Great video. Can I use the multimeter to measure Alternating Current?

Why not

Nice one

I'm here because I bought one of those off Amazon and I need to know how to work it 🙃

thanks

Hello , When I do ac measurement , the voltage (V) I get is it Vpp or 2*V = Vpp? Thank you

@ShawnHymel

Most multimeters should give you AC voltage as a root-mean-squared (RMS) value: www.electronics-tutorials.ws/accircuits/rms-voltage.html

"CAT III" with no voltage for that rating?

hello, I have one doubt, can you please clear it, here it is can we say an electron in motion will produce both electric and magnetic field? pls answer .....

A "field" is really just a mathematical representation that we made up to describe how a particle interacts with other particles around it. An electron, being an electrically charged particle, exerts a force on other charged particles around it, and if we take measurements of what that force is using a known test particle (say, a charge of +1 Coulomb), then we can map out how strong that force is everywhere around that electron (that's what gives us the "field"). So, there is an electric field around an electron (even if it's stationary). As electrons (or other charged particles) begin to move, it exerts a magnetic force on all points around them, thus producing a magnetic "field." This post (physics.stackexchange.com/questions/65335/how-do-moving-charges-produce-magnetic-fields) does a much better job of explaining how moving electrically charged particles "produce" a magnetic field. The short answer is: electrons always have an electric field, and moving electrons (e.g. current in a wire) will produce a magnetic field.

It freezes the current reading on the screen so that you can write it down, compare it to another measurement, etc.

Not knowing much at all about electronics/electricity and using a multi meter maybe twice in my life, I got lost as soon as you made those little drawings. Don't undertsand all the lingo either. I do want to learn how to use a meter though.

10:05 Or just ask Kenneth.

I just realized that I'm slow 😟

Oh I have a question - my new multimer says: 20A (10 sec, 20AMAX, UNFUSED) What does that mean? It's not fused? This is my multimeter: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01M8NQG7I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

pofrani That sounds like it might not have any fuse, so be careful! You can open up the case to check if it has a fuse.

No it isn't.

you are using incorrect technique you should not touch the component with your fingers. it might not seem like a big deal until you have a coil in a circuit

Can you explain why? I was also wondering whether this is a bad idea... if he wasn't wearing shoes, could it potentially short-circuit through his body?

Anybody can read a digital meter !

Skip this if you want to learn how to use a multimeter...unless you grew up in the African bush and you don't know what an LCD screen is, because the gentleman in the video assumes you know amost nothing. If you truly know as little as he thinks you do, I would advise to stay away from electricity and electronics. If you know the basics, this video will slow you down.
