After you are done soldering, if there is no one directly in line behind you, turn of the soldering iron
Current and Power
Setting up a multimeter: Before using the multimeter to measure current, you have to make sure to reconnect the red wire to the input with the “A” above it (lower left side)
Lowest Resistance Resistor:
Measured:
Calculated: Current measured at .20 amps when using a 470Ω resistor
Kirchoff’s Current Law
I(total) = I(1) + I(2) + I(3) + I(4)
