🔍 Key Concepts

• Millivolts (mV) vs volts (V) settings on a multimeter and which switch position in table B corresponds to mV DC • How common (COM) and voltage/ohms terminals in figure C are normally used when measuring voltage rather than current • Why the current (mA / A) terminals are NOT used when measuring small DC voltages

💭 Think About

• From table B, which switch position is specifically labeled for measuring mV rather than full volts or AC quantities? • Looking at figure C, which pair of jacks is labeled for measuring V and Ω together with the common return, and which two jacks are clearly for current (mA / A)? • If you accidentally chose a current jack instead of the voltage jack, what would the meter try to do to the circuit, and why would that be unsafe or incorrect for a 600 mV measurement?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that the selected switch position in figure B has the mV with the DC symbol beside it, not AC volts or frequency. • Confirm that one test lead is in the COM jack (figure C-4) and the other is in the V/Ω jack (figure C-3), not in the 400 mA or 10 A jacks. • Ensure the chosen combination matches a function designed for measuring small DC voltages (up to 600 mV), not resistance or continuity.
