2.  A multimeter is tool that measures electrical currents. It is a combination of many different measurements in one tool.

3.  A multimeter is used to measure the current, voltage or the resistance of an instrument. It can measure these things on a number of different measurements.

4.  There are several different steps in using a multimeter. The first step is setting the device to ohms or resistance.  The next step is to hook the black wire to the negative symbol on the device.  Next, hook that red wire to the “R” symbol on the device.  Then you set the range of measurement that you want to use.  Hold the ends of the wire together.  The next step is to measure the resistance of an item. For example, a light bulb. (make sure that it is a working light bulb.)

5.  The main settings of a multimeter are  Resistance  DC current  DC voltage  AC voltage
