What would be the amount of current in a multimeter with a marking that states 1000 ohms per volt?

What formula should I use to answer the question?

The meter resistance will be (selected voltage range * 1000) ohms.

On 20V range it will be 20,000 ohms.

On 200V range, 200,000 Ohms.

The current then depends on the voltage between the points the meter probes are connected to.

Current = Actual circuit voltage / (voltage range * 1000).

This multimeter uses 1mA DC current as its heart. It uses 1mA all the time during measurement.

Robert J nailed it !

That's a lousy meter...anything respectable is at last 20,000 ohms/volt.

Thanks guys
