What does the 200m range on a multimeter mean?
1 Answers
In the resistance measurement range of a multimeter, 200k indicates that it can measure resistors with a maximum resistance of 200kΩ (kilo-ohms); 200M indicates that it can measure resistors with a maximum resistance of 200MΩ (mega-ohms). In the voltage measurement range of a multimeter, 200m means it can measure voltages up to a maximum of 200mV (millivolts). Additional Information: A multimeter, also known as a volt-ohm-milliammeter (VOM), multitester, or combination meter, is an essential measuring instrument in the fields of electrical and electronic engineering. It is primarily used to measure voltage, current, and resistance. Multimeters are categorized into analog (pointer) multimeters and digital multimeters based on their display method. They are multifunctional and multi-range measuring instruments. Typically, a multimeter can measure DC current, DC voltage, AC current, AC voltage, resistance, and audio levels. Some models can also measure AC current, capacitance, inductance, and certain semiconductor parameters (such as β).
