An Instrument Designed To Measure Electric Current, Voltage, and Usually Resistance

A multimeter is an instrument used to measure electric current, voltage, and resistance. Ohm's law describes the direct proportional relationship between current and potential difference in a conductor, where current is equal to voltage divided by resistance. Specifically, Ohm's law states that the resistance of a conductor is constant and does not depend on the amount of current flowing through it.

resistance

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to
the potential difference across the two points. Introducing the constant of proportionality,
the resistance,[1] one arrives at the usual mathematical equation that describes this relationship: [2]

where I is the current through the conductor in units of amperes, V is the potential difference
measured across the conductor in units of volts, and R is the resistance of the conductor in units
of ohms. More specifically, Ohm's law states that the R in this relation is constant, independent of
the current.[
