If I place a 6 V, 0.06 A filament lamp in a circuit and I want to measure the voltage across the filament lamp and the current in the circuit, what would be a suitable range settings for the multimeter and why?
Thanks for your help.

6 V, 0.06 A
so you'd use the 20V range on the voltmeter and then the 2000uA range on the ammeter. Because those are the values you get ;)

U should not need to measure the voltage drop because it is a parell ckt. The current measurement is in series with the lamp . If u put your meter on current and place it across the lamp u just blew your amp. meter.

The setting should be as close to the circuit voltage as possible. Measure voltage across conductors and current in series.
