The Ammeter

DoNow: What is the relationship between resistance, resistivity, length and cross-sectional area of a conductor? Create an analogy that models the behavior the resistance of a resistor. (notes)

AIM: I can identify the settings to measure current on the multi-meter and how to connect the meter safely for safe current measurement of a loop in a circuit component. I will be able to apply qualitative and quantitative models (Ohm's Law) to describe the relationship of voltage, current and resistance of a simple circuit.
