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
How do you know when you have a circuit?
tuned circuit
Why diac should be tested with power supply and cannot be tested with digital multimeter?
It's like a spark plug, it needs higher voltage to transmit the power.
If you attempted to read the voltage across a car battery with the multimeter accidentally in ammeter mode?
A multimeter when used on voltage, has a very high resistance/impedance to limit the current flowing through it. However when you set it to read current, it has a very small resistance to encourage the current to flow through the metre so can be measured. So ig you put a multimeter across a voltage source (in parrallel) when its set to current, you will normally destroy the metre. Although more expensive metres will have a fuse to protect the instrument should this occur. Hope this helps Always switch back, should you do this on the mains, you can quite easily set the metre on fire!! CB Eng
if a digital multimeter displays 000 when reading amperage, what should the technician do to get a more accurate reading?
You can always switch to milliamps for a more precise reading if necessary. Some multimeters have two As, 1 for alternating current (used for residential power and represented by the wave sign) and 1 for direct current (used in batteries and wires and represented by a horizontal line with a dotted line under it).

Which mode is use in digital multimeter for testing of diode?
A: For a digital meter to test a diode it must have a scale for resistance for it to work, If not a 1.25 v cell with series limiting resistor will work. If you measure across the diode the reading should be .7 volts reverse the cell polarity then the diode voltage should be 1.25 v .7v is forward voltage 1.25 is reverse voltage.

Multimeter that can measure inductance capacitance frequency voltage current and resistance in one system?
Many mutlimeters have this capability. You'll probably want a digital multimeter. If you do a good search, this should be easy to find. You'll need to read through the specifications carefully to make sure you find one that gives the level of accuracy you're looking for. the more accurate it is, the more you'll pay.

How do you test a camshaft position sensor on a ford focus?
Using a Digital Multimeter set to 2k,..the resistance should be 200 to 900 ohms ifnot replace,
When testing for electrolysis in the cooling system the digital volt-ohmmeter (DVOM) reading should not exceed?

Does the current really pass through us while using a tester?
The testing instrument's casing and grip/handle should be fully insulated from the current it is testing. If it was not then the current that would pass through you would be recognized as an electrical shock.

How do you test my CAR charging system?
Get a digital multimeter. Place the black wire to ground, and place the red one at the electrical output on the alternator. You should be getting about 14 volts at high idle.
Why should you use a current probe with a multimeter whenever you need to?
get into tight places,measure high-magnitude currents,monitor currents at a remote location,open a circuit
