Basics of measuring resistance

                                                                        When measuring resistance, all musltimeters use exactly the same principle whether they are analogue multimeters or digital multimeters. In fact other forms of test equipment that measure resistance also use the same basic principle.

The basic idea is that the multimeter places a voltage at the two probes and this will cause a current to flow in the item for which the resistance is being measured. By measuring the resistance it is possible to determine the resistance between the two probes of the multimeter, or other item of test equipment.

It is very simple to measure the resistance of any resistor. you just connect the probes with the resistors in this way that the resistor is placed between the probes and take the reading. we have to measure the resistance with two kind of meters like analogue meter or digital multimeters.

For example if you wanna determine the resistance of wire you will connect the two probes with wire as shown in the diagram and the meter give the resistance of wire this very simple example to measure the resistance of conductor/resistor.

i hope you will have a rough idea about the measuring the values of resistance

thank you for reading my article bye
