Which lead do we connect to the negative side and which one goes to the positive side when taking DC readings and what happens if we reverse the two?
What will be an ideal response?
When making DC voltage checks you will want to touch the black, or common, lead
to the negative (-) side of the circuit or component and the red, or hot, lead to the positive
(+) side. In many DC circuits, the polarity is labeled or indicated in some fashion, but if
you happen to get them reversed do not panic; most modern multimeters will simply put
a minus sign in front of your reading to indicate you have the leads reversed.
