2. Show on the circuit diagram in question 1 how you would connect a multimeter to measure
the voltage across the 8 Ohm resistor.
(a) Explain why the multimeter is connected this way.
(b) What design feature of a good multimeter allows you too connect it in the way
indicated without appreciably affecting the voltage across the 8 Ohm resistor?
3. Show on the circuit diagram in question 1 how you would connect a multimeter to measure
the current through the 8 Ohm resistor.
