When checking a diode with an ohmmeter when the meter leads are connected to the diode the meter should show a resistance. If the meter leads are reversed it should show infinity.?

Can an ohmmeter be used to read a resistance while a source is connected?
Yes. It NEEDS a source to be connected.
Is a ohmmeter a pressure gauge?
No. An Ohmmeter measures electrical resistance to the flow of current.
When measuring resistance with an ohmmeter?
Yes.
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.
How is an ohmmeter connected to a circuit?
ANY METER needs some kind of current flow to operate. Internal in the meter there are batteries that provide current that when passed trough a resistor will develop voltage as a function of the current. the meter will read this current and display the resistor size to cause this current to flow.
Can an ohmmeter be used to read a resistance while a source is connected?
Yes. It NEEDS a source to be connected.
What an ohmmeter measures?
resistance to current flowAn ohmmeter meassures resistance
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 if a ohmmeter reads infinity?
You have an open circuit.
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.
Is a ohmmeter a pressure gauge?
No. An Ohmmeter measures electrical resistance to the flow of current.
When measuring resistance with an ohmmeter?
Yes.
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.
How is resistance measured?
it is measured in Ohmmeter Ohms
At which end of the ohms scale are resistance measurement more reliable the zero end or the infinity end?
On an analog ohmmeter, measurements are more precise and more accurate at the zero end of the scale.
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.
What kind of meter is used to test resistance?
Ohmmeter.
