Yes and to determine if juice is being used, you need to use an "
ammeter".
It measures amps/current.
Whereas a
Voltmeter is used to measure voltage and they do not like it when you try and draw current through them.
A
Multimeter would have both functions on.
Sorry to be pedantic about which instrument is used but it's best not to risk damaging one.
