No, the circuit should not be energized when checking the resistance of a circuit.

What is the resistance in ohms of the computer-monitor combination when a desktop computer and monitor together draw about 1.2 A of current and they plug into a wall outlet that is 120 V?

The combination will have a resistance of 100ohms, and will drew 144watts. But, the wall outlet will usually be fluctuating from 115V to 135V, 120V is't only a "reference". I suggest you measure it a voltmeter before doing any calculation. Then, you can use this formula (ohms law) to find the correct answer : R = V/I In our case : R(ohms) = 120V / 1.2A R = 100ohms

Amps, or amperes, are a measure of electrical current; ohms are a measure of electrical resistance. Both are widely used in physics.


What does thirty five degrees Celsius convert to in ohms?

Temperature in degrees Celsius cannot be directly converted to ohms as they are different units of measurement. Ohms are used to measure electrical resistance whereas degrees Celsius measure temperature.


How do you measure speaker ohms?

Usually speakers are rated by DC impedance, so you can use a simple multimeter to measure their resistance. Typical values are 4 to 32 ohms.


What are watts amps and ohms?

ohms is a measure of resistance(R) in a circuit. Watts is a measure of the power(P), in this case lets assume it is the power used by the resistive element (lamp, heater etc). Power(watts)=Current(Amps)x Current(amps) x Resistance(ohms) or Resistance (ohms)=Power(W)/(current x current)
