An analog multimeter is a device used to measure electrical values such as voltage, current, and resistance. It features a needle that moves across a scale to indicate the measurement, providing a visual representation of the readings. This type of multimeter is often favored for its simplicity and ease of use, especially in educational settings. To operate an analog multimeter, users select the desired measurement type and range, then connect the probes to the circuit or component being tested. The needle's position on the scale shows the measured value, allowing for quick assessments of electrical properties in various applications, from home repairs to electronics troubleshooting.
