Multimeters in the Real World

Multimeters in the Real World 

Multimeter: (n.) an instrument designed to measure electric current, voltage, and usually resistance, typically over several ranges of value. Now what the heck does that mean? Well, a multimeter is simply used to measure things such as current, voltage and resistance. This tool is typical for workers such as electricians and contractors who deal with having to set up wires and electricity in a home. 

I felt that the picture above was appropriate because it depicts an electrician using his multimeter in his workplace, thus using it in the real world. 

Energy and How it is used in my home

Energy: (n.) the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity. 

For me personally, my family and I use majority of our energy through power strips and outlets in small household appliances such as chargers, internet and cable modems, televisions and various other appliances plugged into the infinite amount of power strips we leave plugged into the wall sucking power we're not using, thus the picture above. Granted, we remember to set our water heater to a certain temperature so that we aren't using too much energy along with remembering to turn off the lights we don't need, but there is always someone leaving their power strip with their charger, hair dryer curling iron and flat iron on in their bathroom that just sucks out energy that no one is using.
