Hi Martin, I watched the whole video and thought it might drop few words here for you. Funny thing is that I'm a Computer Engineer myself who have no clue whatsoever on basic electronics (even though I studied all of this back in college). Watching this video reminds me of all the useless teachers at the university who are there just because they have a brilliant curriculum; yet they lack of the very basic teaching skills (i.e. clear and concise language, use of analogies for visualization, etc.). I'm very happy I came across your channel, you're very talented and your videos highly instructive. Keep it up and all the best!!

Just in cause anyone is wondering: there is a small mistake in the video. The AA battery reading is 1.191, not the 1.91 that's read out. The former is reasonable for a somewhat discharged battery, the latter is much more than a single 1.5V battery would deliver. Considering the video is intended for those with less experience, people might get confused, so I thought it's worth pointing out.

Thanks Martin, I've learned a lot from your video after spending vast quantities of time watching other video tutorials on multimeters. The combination of explaining the rudimentary aspects of electricity while teaching how to use the multimeter made it easier to understand how the multimeter actually works. It was of great benefit. Kind regards from Scotland

Thanks a million. I learned a lot. If I had a teacher like you at school/college/uni, I would've never skipped a single lesson. Knowing something is one thing, but explaining/teaching it to others, requires a different kind of talent and set of skills. You have them all. 🙏🙏🙏

My best friend is a master electrician. I worked with him at a young age and he kept me safe. I am interested how to use my multi meter. And prove to him that I am willing to learn about his work. Hopefully he will appreciate my effort of wanting to learn from him and, I can teach him 100 things that I have mastered. "Jack of all trades, Master of nothing has become, Jack of Mastering much, leaves a bunch Mastering Lunch". Just because you have mastered one thing at one time, does not mean much when you can master many things in a lifetime. Thank you for your awesome tutorials. I and we, will be safe for you.

He's a whiz with this stuff and I was actually kind of embarrassed when he realized I had no clue how to use a multimeter. I found this video and not only am learning about "how" to use it, but "what it is i'm measuring". This is the basic high school course in electronics that I never had. Subscribed, and will watch each and every one of your informative videos.

I have to buy a voltmeter and test the voltage on my Ebike's battery due to a problem with my bike. I can't just take it back to the manufacture as I'm in north China and they are in Shanghai - miles away. I will send them the data. What a great video - so clear and easy to understand. Electrics have always scared the death out of me in terms of "knowledge" and knowing how it all works. My multi/voltmeter is on its way. I had no clue how to use one, but now I do. Now I want to watch your next video on current to learn more. Thanks a lot mate.

For anybody wondering about the question: DC is almost always more dangerous to workers, not because it's inherently more powerful, but because of the difference in physiological effects between AC and DC. The nice sine wave of AC current, indicating that the current reverses periodically, means that when you become a current path, your muscles will contract when the current nears either maxima, and relax as it approaches 0. That means that whatever you were doing that caused you to become the current path, you can stop doing (drop the wire/tool). With DC, your muscles just contract and that's it. You have to just hope that your life doesn't depend on being able to release something, because that ain't happening. I haven't watched the next video yet but I'd bet that's more or less what is said.

50Hz in Australia, pretty sure 60Hz in America. AC alternating from +180 degree / -180 degree of the sine wave at 50/60 times PER SECOND....... AC is always more dangerous. Taking holding on to the conductor out of the equation, it is the pulsing that completely fucks up the human body. A very simple google search can confirm this, the number of people saying DC is more dangerous is worrying and i hope you aren't all in the electrical trade.

I am a trainee electrician, and your video has made the uses of a multimeter crystal clear. Thank you.

Justin I was trained by my Uncle but we were doing a renevation and he did all the Multimeter work. I was only 14 and we installed fluorescent lamps and worked on an old brick building. We pulled power in and rewired by snaking through the brick to run the wires. A very long time when we were still using tubes and the transistor just hit the market. Being in a Rock band I had to also self train on how to fix speaker wires mic jacks. ..However your my first formal instructor. I just completed part 1 and loved it. I applied it right away to test some batteries for the Hurricane Season which just started. I hope I don't need those batteries for that : [ I plan on relying on you as my teacher. Thank you.
