You are right, the LED setup is just an example to show how a multimeter works. I’ll update the pictures with a more generic load and source. Many thanks for your feedback

Hi Daniel. The first images are just examples to understand how a multimeter works. Even if it has a resistance, you are right that in a real case a resistor should be connected in series with the LED
