Multimeter
makerAn electronic measuring instrument used to measure voltage, current, and resistance.
expanded
A multimeter is a versatile tool employed in various electrical and electronic applications for measuring voltage in volts (V), current in amperes (A), and resistance in ohms (Ω). It combines the functionality of a voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter, allowing technicians and engineers to diagnose electrical problems, verify circuits, and check device specifications.
examples
A Fluke 117 multimeter is used to measure the AC voltage of a household circuit, which reads 230 V (110 V in the USA).
