A multimeter or a
multitester, also known
as a VOM, is an
electronic measuring
instrument that combines
several measurement
functions in one unit

What is the use of
Multimeter?
A typical multimeter can
measure voltage, current, and
resistance. Analog
multimeters use a
microammeter with a moving
pointer to display readings
Atheena Pandian
A basic multimeter measures
resistance, voltage and current.
More advanced models can measure
capacitance, inductance, and
temperature
They may also be able to measure
frequency and duty cycle (a
measurement relating to pulse
systems such as fiber optic networks).

Different multimeters have
different symbols to
measure it (and the
corresponding voltage),
usually "ACA" and "ACV,"
or "A" and "V" with a
squiggly line (~) next to or
above them

Multimeters can either be digital
or analogue

Types of Multimeter
DIGITAL MULTIMETER
09
A digital multimeter is a test tool used
to measure two or more electrical
values—principally voltage (volts),
current (amps) and resistance (ohms)

ANALOG MULTIMETER
09
An analog multimeter is a PMMC
meter. It works based on the
d'Arsonval galvanometer principle. It
consists a needle to indicate the
measured value on the scale.
