Hi everyone, okay ive been getting conflicting information on this one, and Im 90% sure about it I just want to confirm with you guys on how do I test a plug socket in the house (UK 230v) 3 pin wall plug with a standard Multimeter looking for AC Current with the red and black terminals?

Current is measured in series with a load. Placing a current meter across your AC mains will effectively place a dead short (for all purposes) across your AC mains wall outlet. There would be a big flash and spark, you could get a serious burn and things could be worse.
