When the lead probes of an ohmmeter are touched together, the ohmmeter should read close to zero ohms, indicating a short circuit or very low resistance between the probes.
the lowest
Yes. It NEEDS a source to be connected.

What resistance is the center of your ohm scales, Rx1 range?
On an analog ohmmeter, measurements are more precise and more accurate at the zero end of the scale.

It means you have effectively no resistance to current flow. Whether this is good or not depends on whether you WANT resistance to current flow. If you're testing a length of wire, a cable, or something like that, having your ohmmeter read zero would be good. If you're testing a motor or something else that needs to have resistance to work, having your ohmmeter read zero is bad and is called a Short Circuit.
Because the meter is actually measuring the current through the resistor, and the two quantities ... current and resistance ... are inversely proportional. So when the meter measures more current, it has to read less resistance, whereas higher resistance will result in less current. So the numbers for resistance have to be printed "backwards" on the meter scale.
How do you read a medical mechanical scale?
Just connect a resistor and a small battery in series with the galvanometer,change the markings on the meter's scale, and you have an ohmmeter.
A: To read ohms you will use it by reading in parallel and without any external voltage applied
