Discussion: Methods of Measurement

Discuss with the rest of the class how you would go about measuring voltage across and current through a resistor using the multimeter. How would you place the leads? The following hints may be helpful:

  1. As a voltmeter, the multimeter has infinite resistance. (Ideally)
  2. As an ammeter, the multimeter has zero resistance. (Ideally)
