Ohmmeter, instrument for measuring electrical resistance, which is expressed in ohms. In the simplest ohmmeters, the resistance to be measured may be connected to the instrument in parallel or in series. If in parallel (parallel ohmmeter), the instrument will draw more current as resistance increases.
How do you determine the resistance of a resistor using the ohmmeter?
Set your multimeter to the highest resistance range available. The resistance function is usually denoted by the unit symbol for resistance: the Greek letter omega (Ω), or sometimes by the word “ohms.” Touch the two test probes of your meter together. When you do, the meter should register 0 ohms of resistance.
How does an ohmmeter work?
The working principle of Ohmmeter is, when current flow through the circuit or component, the pointer deflects in the meter. When a pointer moves the left side of the meter, it represents a high resistance and responds to low current. The resistive measuring scale is nonlinear in an ohmmeter and the analog multimeter.
