Question

which diagram shows the correct connections to measure amperage with a multimeter a. b. a. b. c. c. d. not shown a c b d

Explanation:

To measure amperage (current) with a multimeter, the multimeter must be connected in series with the circuit. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: The multimeter is connected in series with the resistor and the power source. The connections (red to positive, black to negative or appropriate terminals for current measurement) are set up correctly for series connection to measure current.
• Option B: The multimeter appears to be connected in parallel (across a component), which is for voltage measurement, not current.
• Option C: The connection doesn't seem to be in series with the load (resistor) in the circuit as required for current measurement.
• Option D: "Not shown" is incorrect as Option A has the correct series connection.

Answer:

A. Option A
