Why ohm meter scale is reverse of other measuring devices?

For an analog ohmmeter, with a needle that moves left and right: The needle is spring loaded; when current is running through the meter, the current causes a small magnetic field in the windings of the meter mechanism, causing it do deflect to the right. If you're measuring current or voltage, if no current is running through the meter, then no deflection, so it should read zero on the left hand side of the scale. When measuring ohms (resistance) on an unenergized circuit, the battery in the meter provides the current. When you short the 2 leads together you have zero resistance to current (0 ohms). When you have an open circuit, no current flows, so there is an infinite resistance. So infinity is on the left side of the scale when no deflection, and zero is on the right side with maximum deflection (maximum current).

Does a lodestone create a magnetic field?

A lodestone is magnetized and thus produces a magnetic field around it. This can be detected by the deflection of a compass needle.


Why deflection of the magnetic needle placed in a coil carrying current increases as the number of turns in the coil increases?

Deflection of the magnetic needle placed in a coil carrying current increases as the number of turns in the coil increase because as the number of turns in the coil increases the strength of the magnetic field also increases.


What checks should be done to an electrical measuring device before attempting to measure electrical resistance?

Some of the checks that can be done to an electrical device before checking electrical resistance include the proximity of other magnetic fields and other electrical circuits. Measure electrical resistance while at a safe distance from strong electrical circuits.
