Voltage

Voltage is measured in parallel while the circuit is powered.

Resistance

Resistance should generally be measured with the circuit powered off.

Safety

Using the wrong input for current measurement can damage the multimeter or the circuit.

Next step

Use this lesson together with Claddify component pages and finder tools. Verify the datasheet and connection orientation before building a real circuit.
