Electrical Engineering: Basic Laws (27 of 31) The Multi Range Meter

[@jaydoubleli]

what are the purposes of the 1000 and 10k ohm resistors if you can use the 100k ohm resistor to measure up to 100V?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

That is just for an example. Voltmeters are built with different size resistors.

0:40 Question: Can we assume the opposit ? In other words can we assume the input to be on the side of the pointer needle and the output on the side of the 1000 Ohm resistor ? Thanks for your great videos.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

If two component are in series then it doesn't matter what order they are in.

[@suhailasaba1051]

​​@@MichelvanBiezen Big thanks for your clear explanation.

[@gabrielquintero4700]

Do we always use resistors whose resistance is a multiple of 10 to make sure that the proportionality between the voltage and the currents align with Ohm’s law?

[@jeffsam5495]

cant we only use 100000ohm resistor everytime to find voltages even for small ones? what difference does it make in the reading sir?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

There are 2 reasons. 1) For small voltage readings, the deflection would be so small that you can't read it. 2) Analog meters are more accurate when the needle points towards the middle.

thank you sir

Good explanation, can you please send your email? I've got a question about the multirange ohmmeter that I'm trying to solve and I get a different asnwer compared to my friends, I'm confused if I was wrong or my friends were wrong, if you're willing to help me, I'm going to send my question, my answer and my friends to thank you.

Our time is very limited, so we try to answer questions through the video comments like this.

Bill Nye vibes. :)
