For most tests you want the AC Volts setting. On US residential service you should see 240V between one hot and the other, 120V between a hot and neutral, 120V between a hot and ground, and 0V between neutral and ground. Variations of 10% or less from these numbers are OK. You should see very little to no voltage when testing neutral to ground. Don't use the current setting unless you know what you are doing. You can tost your meter.

What tool can be used to test for electrical conductivity?
The easiest way is to use an Ohmmeter. This function is usually built into most multimeter that can be bought at any hardware store. An Ohmmeter measures the electrical resistance of a material. The lower the number the more conductive that material is. If the Ohm reading is above the maximum reading on the meter then their is infinite resistance which means that the material is not a conductor of electricity.

How do you if alternator is not charging?
Use a DVOM (Digital Volt Ohm Meter) to see how many volts are output at the battery if it 13.3 to 14.4 the alternator is putting out the right voltage. Now you need to test that it is putting out enough amps, some dvom s have an inductive pick up clamp you can use to read the amps. Otherwise O'reilys, advance, pep boys auto parts will usually test it for free while it is in the car
