Electrolyte Challenge

Post by scienceluver7 »

Hey(:

Umm For my Electrolyte Challenge: Orange Juice vs. Sports Drink project, I have the connnection right. My multimeter was working, but then it abruptly stopped working. I checked everything, and it turned out to be the fuse that went out, apparently. What do I do?

Thanks(:

Hello scienceluver7,

If the fuse is blown, you have to put in a new one. The fuse is inside the meter. Check your instruction manual for details on replacing the fuse.

When the experiment is set up as described and the two sensor wires touch, it will blow the fuse, so be careful that they don't touch.

Good luck, WW

wendellwiggins- yahh we went to the store and got a new fuse. I checked online to see why the fuse might have blown out, and it was because the wires touched when it was in the solution. Thank You!

scienceluver7,

I'm glad you found the problem and fixed it. Now you're an expert repairman :wink:
