C6: Electrical Connection

1. Voltage Testing

  • Voltage tells us how much electrical “pressure” is present.

  • Measured in Volts (V).

  • Example: A AA battery has ~1.5 V.

2. Continuity Testing

  • Checks if there is a complete path for current.

  • In continuity mode, the multimeter beeps if the path is connected.

  • Useful for checking wires, switches, and joints.

Safety Rule: Always start testing with the lowest risk (continuity with no power), then move to voltage.
