10 Questions
What is the typical marking on a multimeter for measuring direct current amperage?
DCA
If you don't know the approximate value of the amperage you want to measure, which scale should you initially select on the multimeter?
The highest scale, such as 10A
How can you measure the flow of water through a pipe?
Cut the pipe and insert the end into a container to collect the water
How is measuring electric current through a circuit similar to measuring water flow through a pipe?
You must open the circuit and insert an ammeter to measure the current

If the multimeter displays a reading of zero when measuring amperage, what should you do?
Change to a lower scale
What type of current does a multimeter measure when set to the DCA position?
Direct current
What is the purpose of an ammeter in an electrical circuit?
To measure current
