Measuring amperage pulled by computer
I'm looking to measure the amperage my computer is using using a multimeter. So I went and bought a surge strip and removed the first layer of shielding to reveal three wires, the colors being white (neutral), black (power), and a tealish greenish (ground) color. I'm not used to AC circuits as much as DC, but I'm under the impression that to measure the amperage you have to cut one of the wires and put the multimeter in the electrical path so the current flows through it to measure. The problem is I'm not sure which wire to do this to.
