Electrolytes and Multimeter Device - Chemistry
Posted: Tue May 11, 2021 11:58 am
I am doing the "Electrolyte Challenge: Orange Juice Vs. Sports Drink" Science Experiment. On the Procedure Tab, under Measuring the Conductance, Step #8 it says
- Record the current. Again, make sure you record the correct units. Since your multimeter dial is set to 200m, this reading is in milliamps (mA), not microamps (μA). It says the Multimeter needs to be set to 200m when testing tap water, Orange Juice, and sports drinks.
I know/am about 65% sure that pickle juice has a higher electric current than Orange juice, tap water, or sports drinks. I am worried It might be too much power to be at 200m when I test pickle juice. What should I set my Multimeter at?
