Voltage Measurement To measure the potential difference or voltage across an element we connect the two voltage leads to the ends of the element.

Voltage Measurement What is the effect of connecting a voltmeter (DMM) to an element? This is the resistance of the voltmeter (DMM). This resistance is more like 10 M  If 10 M  and 1k 

Voltage Measurement What about measuring the voltage of a old battery?

Current Measurement To measure the current through an element we break the circuit and place the current meter (DMM) in the circuit so that current flows through the meter.
