Re: Personal Electrical Project Help
Are you putting the ammeter in the circuit, not on? To measure current, one must place the current-measuring device in series with the circuit, not parallel. If you put it in parallel, no current will pass through the test circuit. Current measuring devices work by measuring the voltage drop across a low-value resistor which the test current must pass through. Connect one side of the meter to one of the alligator clips, and the other to where the clip was before.
