A multifunction measuring instrument used for measuring AC and DC voltage [V] and current [A] as well as resistance [Ω]. Many digital multimeters can also measure frequency [Hz], duty cycle [%], capacitance [F], temperature [°C], and/or other electrical or physical properties. Most are handheld; more expensive bench models are also available for applications requiring high precision.

Why are these readings violating ohm's law? (Are they?)
Inserting the multimeter in the circuit, I suddenly read 0.28A. … Now, if I insert the multimeter into the circuit I get 0.24A, yet again a different current. …

In which scenarios is it important to measure microampere?
First, your assumption that professional multimeters don't have a microamp scale is wrong. A Fluke 287, for instance, will happily measure microamps. The Fluke 116 only has a microamp scale for curren …

Why isn't Ohm's law working for this simple circuit?
The current limit on your ExTech multimeter is 200 mA according to the datasheet. The meter is showing about 60% over that limit. …
