Abstract

Teaching about measurements and showing examples of instruments' non-ideal behaviour are important in physics education. Digital multimeter input impedance analysis is perfect for this, since these instruments are easily available, precise enough, have good value/price ratio and represent modern technology. A recent paper (2018 Phys. Educ. 53 053005) demonstrates how the investigation of the input impedance of a digital multimeter can be used in education. However, we think that some more discussion is needed to make it more complete.
