Here are the steps for measuring resistance in the simple circuit: Remove the battery. Just unplug it from the battery snap connector and set the battery aside. Turn the meter selector dial to one of the resistance settings. If you have an
To measure the actual EMF, you measure U when the current supplied from the battery is precisely 0.

Describe how to connect an ammeter in a circuit to measure current; with a battery, three meters, or three separate ammeter readings, are necessary to measure the current from the battery and through each resistor. high
But for example if a circuit designed for 12 volts having a resistance or 360 ohms and an expected current draw of 0.033 amps then it makes no difference if you use a little duracel 12v type 21/23 battery, your car battery; the limiting factor for battery discharge would be the circuit resistance and not the battery''s physical capability, chemistry, and electrical capacity.

The LED''s forward voltage is 3 V and the maximum current is 20 mA. I calculated the resistance as R = V/I = (5 V - 3 V) / (20 × 10-3 A) = 100 Ω. I tried and it works well. It seems perfect, eh? But when I think twice, the current 20 mA is just a number from a specification, not from the actual current value. Where I can get the actual current?

How to measure current using an ammeter and a voltmeter (with known resistor). Select the DC current measurement range - start with a high range in case you make a mistake and change to a more sensitive range if all appears OK. Connect the probes into the correct sockets. Wire the multimeter in series with the LED. Read the meter.
The reading on the multimeter indicates the instantaneous current being drawn from the battery by the connected load at that moment. This measurement reflects the battery's ability to supply current under the specific conditions of the test, not its total capacity (Ah or mAh).
For ease in analyzing circuits, we suggest drawing a “battery arrow” above batteries that goes from the negative to the positive terminal. The circuit in Figure 20.1.4 20.1. 4 is simple to analyze. In this case, whichever charges exit one terminal of the battery, must pass through the resistor and then enter the other terminal of the battery.
