Hello everyone.
New to the forum. Just want to run this by someone who might be able to provide some input.
Far as I know Ohms Law hasn't changed since 1827. Right?
It has been a while since I engaged with this stuff. Retired now and thought I would re-engage as a hobby.
So I have two multimeters and I just thought I would check them out.
I have a 9.3VDC battery. I connect it across a 0.1 ohm stock 4 band carbon film resistor. (brown, black, silver and gold if you're interested).
Total resistance in the circuit is 0.8 ohms including the meter cables.
So according to Ohm's Law i = V/R = 9.3/0.8 = 11.6A.
Is that right?
One of my meters is a 35 year old Fluke with a new battery.
The other is 12 months old TackLife DM09 with a new battery.
So why do my meters read 0.55 amps (Fluke) and 0.2 amps (TackLife)?
Any ideas what's going on here? What am I missing?
I could understand the Fluke being tired but not the TackLife.
Thanks
