Multimeters

A multimeter is an instrument with various uses. It is used to measure current, voltage, and resistance.  It is a valuable asset that can help us solve many mysteries.

Outside the classroom, a multimeter has a number of valuable uses. One of which is to partially diagnose your car. If for some reason, your car refuses to start, it could be a number of reasons.  However, when these car troubles emerge, people tend to think the batteries are dead. So they call a friend, have them drive 3 miles in 35 wonderful traffic minutes only to discover that the battery was never the issue.

Multimeters can prevent stories like this from occurring once again. If there is reason to believe that a car battery or any battery is dead, all it takes is 30 seconds with a multimeter. The meter will give a voltage reading and with that, you can determine whether or not the battery is working. Multimeters also read currents so you could infer if there even is a current flowing through the electrical circuit. All in all, multimeters have various uses and should be in the homes of all Americans.
