Explanation / Answer
1.series connection means inserting the multi meter so that it measures current.
In series same current flows in circuit element and multi meter.
Multi meter act as ammeter.
2. Measuring voltage is parallel connection.
Measuring current needs series connectiin.

5milli V=0.005 Volt
10 milli Amps=0.01 Amps
15 kilo Ohms=15000 Ohms
0.1 milli A<10milli A<0.1Amps<1Amp<10Amp.
