How to Connect a Voltmeter, Ammeter and Ohmmeterv across a Component

A graphic showing two circuits to illustrate how to connect a voltmeter to measure the voltage across a component. The circuit consists of a battery connected to two resistors in series.

A graphic showing two circuits to illustrate how to connect an ammeter to measure the current in a circuit. The circuit consists of a battery connected to two resistors in series.

A graphic showing two circuits to illustrate how to connect an ohmmeter to measure the resistance of a component. To measure the resistance of one of the resistors, it must be removed from the circuit.
