Want this question answered?
Unfortunate.
A: Depends on the meter it measure ohms, voltage, current. some may test for transistor beta health of battery and then some
Because to measure amperage you must connect the multimeter in series , in order to do so the circuit must be broken first. In the case with voltage measurements the multimeter probes must be connected in parallel which is far easier because connecting the multimeter this way the circuit will remain intact.
It generally reads RMS value of the voltage being measured
I would imagine that reversing the leads would rectify that. (No pun intended.)

Resistance is measured with an ohmmeter. A link is provided to a brief article on the ohmmeter posted at Wikipedia.Note that it is unusual in this day and age to have a device that will measure ohms and nothing else. The ohmmeter is usually included among the functions of a multimeter, and usually a digital multimeter or DMM.
First connect the positive terminal of the voltage line to positive terminal of multimeter and negative to negative terminal of multimeter. Select voltage in multimeter and measure the voltage
It generally reads RMS value of the voltage being measured
A volt meter can only measure voltage. A multimeter can measure other items such as resistance and continuity.
current
measure the voltage,amphere resestance
Multimeters are instruments used to test, measure and monitor electrical devices, such as circuits, electrical components or wall outlets. The two types of multimeter are analog and digital, with digital being the most common due to accuracy and ease of use. Analog ones have displays that use moving needles, while digital ones have digital readoutsAnswerA multimeter is an instrument that combines the functions of an ammeter, voltmeter, and ohmmeter. So it can be used to measure current, voltage, and resistance.
