Multimeter Symbol In Schematic Diagram. Note that the voltage in an ac circuit is usually referred to as ac voltage even though it sounds strange to say alternating current voltage. You might see a squiggly line next to or above a v or a on the front of your multimeter in addition to metric prefixes.
A large and a small line is suppose to represent one battery cell so that the image below would suggest a two cell battery of 3 v. The symbol for a battery is shown below. Firstly quickly figure out which electrical symbol shall be used in the diagram.
This multimeter symbol is identified as a capital v with a wavy line above it.
A multimeter must be connected in parallel in a circuit see diagram below in order to measure voltage. Later when you come across symbols you don t know you can come back here to identify what it is. Last but not least use a connector tool to connect all the electrical symbols. This stands for alternating current ac.
