Milliams are thousandths of an amp, and are used to measure current. You set the multimeter to Ohms to measure resistance, but it says Ohms on the meter. You usually have to put your + probe into a different port on the meter to measure current. Forget studying it for 3 years at university - this is basic physics I did at school at the age of 14 P=IV : Power [Watts] = Current [A] x Voltage [V] V=IR : Voltage = Current x Resistance [Ohms] Rearrange to suit your calculation I don't mean to be out and out rude, but consider a discussion at the pub when a friend says something silly - what do you usually do? Laugh and call him an idiot? Probably. Martin content22207 wrote: >What I MEANT to say is my multimeters don't have a "current" setting >-- volts and ohms (and milliamps) only.
