To measure resistance, you could use an ohmmeter. But ohmmeters are not particularly accurate, so other methods are preferable. These include the use of Wheatstone's Bridge (which compares the unknown resistance with known values) or a Ducter (for very low resistances).

What device is used to measure the resistance of a resistor?
You can use a multi-meter to measure resistance. The specific portion of the meter for measuring resistance is called an ohmmeter.
What is DCR in transformers?
It is dc resistance, use to measure the rated current at primary and secondary side
How do you measure the resistance in a parallel circuit?
You have to measure the voltage, and the current. The resistance is then calculated by using Ohm's Law.
Why can a semiconductor measure temperature?
Semiconductor resistance depends on temperature. So, you can use a shunt resistor to measure semiconductor voltage with a given current and, then, obtain temperature.
State 3 functions of wheatstone bridge?
Wheatstone bridge is used to calculate the resistance of unknown resistor in the circuit.
What device is used to measure the resistance of a resistor?
You can use a multi-meter to measure resistance. The specific portion of the meter for measuring resistance is called an ohmmeter.
What equipment do you use to measure resistance?
Avo meter
Does resistance use amps or voltage?
Resistance doesn't "use" either. Resistance is the division of voltage by current. It can be though of as a measure of how hard it is to push electrons through a substance.
What is the use of resistance box?
The use of a resistance box or a "Decade Box" is to help calibrate instruments used to measure electrical values such as Voltage, Current, and Resistance. Without them you would not have a known value of resistance to use as a set point.
How can you measure resistance by using resistance thermometer?
You use an ohmeter. It sends current through the wire to determine value.
What units do you measure resistance in?
Your measure resistance in OHMS ΩOhms.
Can you use the multimeter to measure the resistance of a resistor when there is current passing the resistor?
A: NO the only way is to lift one lead and measure.
How do you measure inductance?
You can use a LCR (Inductance, Capacitance, Resistance) meter if you can find one.
Thermometer use to measure temperature above 1250 celsius?
platinum resistance thermometer
How do you measure the resistance of a motor?
we can measure the resistance of the motor by using voltmeter ammeter method of by directly using a multimeter across the armature terminals of the motor in voltmeter ammeter method we should use a less value of dc voltage to find the resistance
Which is used to measure a very small resistance of wires.?
To accurately measure very small resistances, you could use a Wheatstone Bridge.
The will measure resistance only?
The ohmmeter is usually used to measure the resistance of a given wire only.
