A ammeter (not 'current meter') will read currents up to the maximum value indicated on its scale (analogue instruments) or its range setting switch (digital instruments).

What should the multimeter be set on to measure charge?
Current is measured in amps so the setting on a multimeter would be A Measuring current with a multimeter is only to be done by someone with training because it can be very dangerous It is much better to measure current with a clamp meter
Multimeter measure current in amps volts or watts?
A multimeter measures current in amperes and potential difference in volts. Wattmeters are used to measure watts and the reading is a combination of current being drawn and the voltage applied. watt = volts x amps
How a multimeter be connected in order to measure resistance?
A: A multimeter is an instrument design to measure ohms volts and amps. So to measure amps a shunt is provided to allow a sample of the current to be measured as a function of voltage.
Why is it called multimeter?
since it stands for voltage ohm meter :) can measure voltage current and resistance
What instrument is used by technicians for measuring current voltage and resistance?
The instrument is called a multi-meter. Multi part meaning that the meter has distinct functions. One setting can measure voltage, another function can measure resistance and the third function can measure a limited amount of current.The reason the current is limited is because the meter has to be connected in series to the circuit that it is measuring. There will be a maximum rating on the instrument stating the maximum amount of current allowed. Many times this is a DC current and it is not to be used for measuring AC current.For higher current measurements a clamp on ammeter should be used.
What else can a multimeter measure?
current.
What is the maximum frequency Escort multimeter EDM169 can measure?
1MHz

Besides voltage and resistance what else can your multimeter measure?
current
What is a clamp meter?
It is a multimeter with a clamp on facility to measure current using it as a current transformer.
How do you know when a wire has current flowing through it?
You can measure with a multimeter. Alternately, you can check for a magnetic field around the wire.You can measure with a multimeter.

What are three test that the digital multimeter is used for?
To measure voltage, current and resistance.
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,
Would a multimeter connected in series as part of the circuit measure current or power consumption or voltage or wattage?
Current.
How do you measure the current by using multimeter?
The current is the amperage. It is measured in series. Voltage is measured across the line (parallel).
What is the difference in an ammeter and a multimeter?
An ammeter just measures current (amps), while a multimeter is a single unit that can be switched over to measure other things such as voltage and resistance in addition to current.
