If you're feeling more adventurous, connect an ammeter in series with the positive supply lead and a variable load, such as a potentiometer. Slowly decrease the resistance of the load and record the ammeter's reading when the magic smoke leaks out of any of the components. (NOTE: This is a BAD IDEA and should not actually be implemented.)
