How do you measure current with a multimeter?
Disconnect the circuit before measuring current with the multimeter.
Connect the multimeter in parallel with the circuit to measure current.
Connect the multimeter in series with the circuit to measure current.
Use the multimeter to measure voltage instead of current.
Answer explanation
To measure current, connect the multimeter in series with the circuit. This allows the current to flow through the multimeter, providing an accurate measurement. Connecting in parallel would short-circuit the meter.
