Question

In a Simple Circuits lab, how should Lilith measure the current in a particular part of her circuit? How should she measure the voltage across a particular resistor within the circuit. Tell specifically what she should do with the multimeter in each case. In a Simple Circuits lab, how should Lilith measure the current in a particular part of her circuit?

Explanation / Answer

Connect multimeter in series with circuit, we get current passing through the circuit. And connect multimeter parallel is the ends of the resistors to calculate the voltage across the resistor.
