What are applications of OHM METER?
It measures resistance in a component or circuit to determine if there is a break in that circuit or component. If there's no resistance, it means there's a break, as no electrical current is passing through.
What is meant by the resistance of an electrical component?
Think of it like this: Friction causes you difficulty in pulling heavy objects on a carpet. This frictional force is similar to electrical resistance. It is one of two ways to define how easily electricity will travel through an electrical element.
What does a megohmeter or megger test?
It checks resistance from a circuit or an electrical component to earth, to make sure it is electrically isolated. This must be a very high value of resistance, hence 'megohms'.
What is the unit used of resistor?
The ohm. It is how much resistance a component or part of a circuit has to the flow of electrical charge when a voltage is induced across it.
How are currents calculated?
Ohm's Law says I = V/R. You need to know the voltage across the component and its resistance, for that particular temperature and time, in order to calculate the current in the component at that instance.

What is ohmmeter?
An ohmmeter is a type of electrical metre that measures electrical resistance. When in resistance-measuring mode, multimeters also operate as ohmmeters. An ohmmeter measures the resistance of a circuit or component by passing electricity through it.
Effectb of temperature on resistance?
Resistance of a component, with a few exceptions, increases with ambient temperature. The electron speed in the component does not change, but its trajectory is more randomized at high temperature. The electron becomes more 'aimless,' everything else the same. The result is seen as higher resistance -- fewer electrons have reached across than at a lower temperature.
How many ohms does your Jeep Wrangler have?
Sorry but your question does not contain enough information to be answered. Ohms are a measurement of electrical resistance. Please specify the electrical component that you wish to know the Resistance of.
What does R mean in an electrical circuit?
it's generally the resistance. its generally the energy dissipiating component called Resistor

What is the working principle of the thermistor?
A thermistor changes it's resistance depending on temperature. Hence Thermal-Resistor. (Thermistor) It is all to do with the crystal structure of the substance the thermistor is made of. Some increase their resistance as temperature rises, called Positive Thermal coefficient, 'PTC'. Others reduce their resistance with increasing temperature, called Negative Thermal Coefficient. 'NTC'. They can be used in a feedback loop of a simple amplifier and switch circuits, to control temperature of a device. They can be calibrated for use in a current loop, to directly measure temperature, like a thermometer. They can be used to stop surges in start up circuits, initially giving a high resistance until things warm up. Or used to apply a large current and then reduce as things warm up. (Like in the old degaussing coils on a colour CRT).
How are currents calculated?
Ohm's Law says I = V/R. You need to know the voltage across the component and its resistance, for that particular temperature and time, in order to calculate the current in the component at that instance.
Why could the total resistance of the circuit vary when measuring resistance using a multimeter?
Residence of one component varies overtime and from component to component.
