Voltmeter connect in parallel with the circuit setting on voltmeter highest range first then to lower range.

Ohmmeter we need to use the ohmmeter meter setting connect across the resistor

What is the advantage provided by multimeter?

A multimeter, also called a VOM, is an ohmmeter, ammeter, and voltmeter combined in one case. A function knob can be turned to select the type of measurement to be made, such as volts, amps, or ohms. The multimeter's test lead connections to the circuit will depend on whether you are using it as a voltmeter, an ammeter, or an ohmmeter.

What is the main rule to be followed when using an ohmmeter?

The main rule to be followed when using an ohmmeter is to have the circuit under test de energized from the power source.


Should the ohmmeter be connected to the circuit while the power is being applied or only when the circuit is turned off?

Turn off the supply before using the ohmmeter,it will damaged your ohmmeter when supply is present.


How do you measure volts?

By using a voltmeter.


How the resistance is measure?

Using an ohmmeter, Wheatstone bridge, etc.


What precuation must be taken when using an ohmmeter?

Be certain the circuit is de-energized and discharged before connecting an ohmmeter.Do not apply power to a circuit while measuring resistance.When you are finished using an ohmmeter, switch it to the OFF position if one is provided and remove the leads from the meter.Always adjust the ohmmeter for 0 (or ∞ in shunt ohmmeter) after you change ranges before making the resistance measurement.

How yo calculate angle of lag in a inductive coil circuit?

There are several ways of doing this, but it depends on what information you have to start with. One way is to find the impedance, using a voltmeter and an ammeter (impedance will be the product of the two readings), and the resistance using an ohmmeter (or, better still, a Wheatstone Bridge) and, then, use the equation:cos (phase angle) = resistance / impedance


How is voltage measured?

Use a voltmeter with a high input impedance and measure at the source the voltage.
