Best Answer

EMF (Volts) Resistance (Ohms), and most of the time, Current (Amperes, or more likely, mili Amperes)

A multimeter can measure?

A multimeter is used for measuring electricity and because it has many different functions, it has been named a "multi"meter. They generally measure AC and DC voltage, amps, and resistance (ohms).


If a multimeter reads zero on the ohm scale is this high or low resistance?

zero is low resistance


How many watt UPS is Required for a 5000 Lumens Projector?

Not enough information is provided by the question, however, it is simple enough to determine the wattage required for the projector with a multimeter. Measure the voltage (120V likely in the US) and current with the multimeter. Then multiply them. For example, if you measure 120 volts and 5 amps, then 120V x 5A = 600 watts. Another device you can find on Amazon is the "KILL A WATT" that your can plug the projector into and it will directly measure the watts or volt-amps of the projector. Now it gets a bit more complicated. If the lamp in the projector is a "high intensity discharge" type lamp (mercury vapor, for example), then the UPS you want must be "fast transfer" so the projector (and lamp) doesn't lose power for any appreciable amount of time. The "fast transfer" UPS's are significantly more expensive than the simple backup battery packs that Amazon sells for less than $100. That type will work with a lamp that is an incandescent type. This answer was provided by an electrical engineer who works in the power systems field.


What quantity is hertz used to measure?

One would measure hertz by using an analog ammeter. Hertz can be measure in kilohertz. Hertz is the unit used to measure frequency. Any instrument that measures frequency can be used to measure hertz. 1 hertz is 1 cycle per second. By radio frequency.

How is an multimeter connected to take a measure?

Multimetres are generaly used to measure the following quantities. Voltage: multimeter is connected in parallel with the Load; Current: multimeter is connected in series with Load; Resistance: the resistor must be taken out of the circuit first, then, the probes from the multimeter are connected across the resistor,
