You almost NEVER do.
1) The circuit should be off and/or disconnected when using an ohmmeter.
2) It should be in parallel with the component as far as the rest of the circuit is concerned, but alone in series with the device its measuring.

Are devices of home connected in series or in parallel?
Home devices are connected in parallel and not in series.
What is the difference between a series ohmmeter and a shunt ohmmeter?
Basically, your series and shunt ohmmeters differ in circuit configuration. Your series ohmmeter is configured in a way that your "meter" (which has internal resistance) is connected in series to your "measured resistor" and we all know that those TWO resistances will ADD up causing some sort of inaccuracy. While on the other hand, your shunt ohmmeter is configured in a way wherein your "meter" is connected in PARALLEL to your "measured resistor" that will ease-up the inaccuracy but will only measure resistances ranging from 200 Ohms to 400 Ohms (typically and depending on your configuration).
Which circuit the ammeter connected in parallel?
An ammeter is always connected in series and a vlotmeter in parallel
What is a resistance network?
A resistance 'network' consists of a number of resistors connected together in series, or in parallel, or in series-parallel, or as a complex circuit. A 'complex' circuit is one that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel.
How much electrical resistance would you expect an ohmmeter to indicate if it were connected across the combination of these two series connected resistors of 3.3 kilowatt ohms and 3.3 kilowatt ohms?
It would be the sum of the two resistances, as they are connected in series.
Does the ohmmeter need to be parallel to the load when measuring resistance?
It does not matter, since the ohmmeter needs to be connected to the device in isolated mode. Series or parallel; they are both the same, in this case.
What is the configuration of the ohmmeter?
An ohmmeter is connected in parallel to a resistor. Be sure that there is no power in the circuit when testing.

Is it connected in series or parallel?
series
Which home appliances are connected in parallel and which in series?
All home appliances are connected in parallel.
Which circuit the ammeter connected in parallel?
An ammeter is always connected in series and a vlotmeter in parallel
Is a ammeter connected in series or in parallel with the circuit under test?
An ammeter is connected in series. A voltmeter is connected in parallel. ammeter should always be connected in series instead of parallel becoz it is a low resistance device and we know that resistance is inversly proportional to current so more current will pass through it and if it is connected in parallel than it may get damaged

High voltage field windings are connected series or parallel?
high voltage field windings are connected in parallel
How do you connect an ohmmeter in series or paallel?
A: To read ohms you will use it by reading in parallel and without any external voltage applied
