Universal Laboratory Bench. Current and Voltage Measurements

Objectives

Set up the DMM as a voltmeter. This will involve both pushing the appropriate buttons and connecting the DMM's leads (one of which is red, and the other black) at the appropriate DMM terminals.

Equipment

Ammeter,Voltmeter

Theory

In some DMMs, the terminal to which the red lead should be connected is red itself or is labelled HI. or V: the tenninal where the black lead should be connected is black. itself. or is labeled LO or COM. . If there is a DC/AC button on the voltmeter, set it to DC since only DC (constant with respect to time) voltages and currents will be measured in this experiment.



If the DMM is properly set up as a voltmeter. it will behave approximately as an open circuit. Make sure you do not set it up as an ammeter (current meter). in which case it will act as a short circuit and, if improperly used, can cause damage.

Conclusion

If a DMM is properly set as an ammeter. 1t will appear approximately as a short

circuit between the two leads. So, when the ammeter is insertedin a circuit. it does

not disturb the circuit: it acts approximately as a wire. In many ammeters, the extent

to which they act as shorts depends on the measurement range set on them. In

general, the larger the range selected, the more the ammeter acts like a short (i.e..

the lower the resistance between its two terminals). In ammeters with only a few

display digits, it is better to select the range as large as possible, while still allowing

for a sufficient number of significant digits to be displayed. For our present purposes,

displaying two or three significant digits will be adequate.
