So in small electrical circuits we tend not to measure too much current, because it normally involves breaking a wire to perform the measurement. Measuring current consumption of a Pi can be an indicator of problems but ensuring a reliable way of actually making the measurement with a Pi & a Multimeter can get rather involved. Best measured on a Bench Power Supply. The net purchase. . .

But I digress, The Pi acts as a resistance and using the two equations of electricity

'''V=IR      Voltage (Volts)  =  Current(Amps) * Resistance (Ohms) '''

So the current = 5.64/5  = 1.128 Amps
 
So the current = 5.64/5  = 1.128 Amps
