Multimeterssssss

Recently in class we have been learning about circuits and how they work. In doing so we were introduced to a tool known as a multimeter which helps us to find different values for certain things such as resistance, current, and voltage. This tool is very useful because it allows us to get accurate values without having to do it manually with equations. This is what a multimeter looks like:

As you can see in the picture above the dial is what tells the multimeter to measure. The two prongs coming out of the multimeter are used to put onto the circuit directly so that we can measure the values. The numbers on the screen are obviously going to be the values. Typically multimeters will also give you the unit in which the value is being measured. Another use for a multimeter other then in physics class is to check if a battery is dead or not. Therefore multimeters are a very useful piece of equipment that makes the world a much better place.
