| Jun 30, 2015 at 3:18 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | @NULL - that's exactly the wrong way to use an ammeter. You need to connect it in series with a suitable load, not as a near-short across the supply with no other load. | |
| Jun 29, 2015 at 21:10 | comment | added | NULL | I measured it like this: Multimeter + ══════ power supply +; multimeter - ══════ power supply -. In this case I don't see the difference between in series and parallel because attaching the respective lead to each end is the same as attaching the leads together and attaching each end to a terminal? What is the correct way to measure it then? | |
