How must an analog or digital multimeter set up as an millimammeter be connected?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ohm’s Law (V = IR) and what happens to current when you add another path versus another component in line • Difference between how you connect a voltmeter vs an ammeter in a circuit • How current actually flows through a load compared to how voltage is measured across a load

💭 Think About

• Think about what you are trying to measure: is current something that passes through the meter or around it? • If you connected the meter the same way you connect a voltmeter, what would happen to the circuit and the load? • Which connection type forces all the circuit current to go through the meter rather than giving it a bypass path?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall: voltmeter connection method and ammeter connection method are opposite – be clear which is which before choosing • Make sure the chosen connection causes the full load current to pass through the meter • Verify that the connection you pick would not short out the power source or completely bypass the load
