How does the technique for measuring current with DMM differ from measuring voltage?

Well, measuring current with a Digital Multimeter (DMM) requires breaking the circuit and inserting the meter in series to measure the flow of electrons. On the other hand, measuring voltage involves placing the DMM in parallel across the component to measure the potential difference. Both techniques are important for understanding and troubleshooting electrical circuits, and with practice, you'll become more comfortable and confident using your DMM.
