 sometimes called the VOM
(voltmeter, ohmmeter,
milliammeter).
 It is the best instrument that can
measure voltage, resistance and
current.
 It is generally made of two
types: the analog and the digital.
Analog Digital
 The needle-shaped rod
that moves over the
scale of a meter.
 It is mechanically
connected to the
moving coil.
 It indicates the
measured values on
the multimeter scale.
 makes it
possible to
select different
functions and
range of the
meter.
 makes it
possible to
adjust the
pointer to the
zero position
of the scale.
 a series of
marking used
for reading the
value of a
quantity
 can have different types of scale,
for voltage and current readings
the scales have mostly linear which
means equal division.
 For resistance readings, the scale
have logarithmic which means
unequal divisions.
 Is used to
zero-in the
pointer
before
measuring
resistance.
 is used to
connect the
circuit to the
electrical
components
being tested
