a multimeter probably has a Ohm meter as well. If yes, use it and make sure you have the correct scale adjusted. If there is no Ohm meter you should calculate the resistance using Ohms Law. So if you use your multimeter as an Amp meter (in series with the unknown resistor) and you apply a know voltage across you should be able to calculate the resistance by dividing the voltage you applied by the current you meassured (R=v/I)
ANSWER: 1 make sure ther is no external power connected 2 short the leads together and adjust for zero reading on the meter. This step is necessary to eliminate the internal battery drifting with time.
Unlike voltage and amps reading the scaling of the meter is not important to begin with since a peg meter or a overflow will not destroy the meter immediately but do change the scale to get maximum deflection or digital display.That it

How is an multimeter connected to take a measure?
Multimetres are generaly used to measure the following quantities. Voltage: multimeter is connected in parallel with the Load; Current: multimeter is connected in series with Load; Resistance: the resistor must be taken out of the circuit first, then, the probes from the multimeter are connected across the resistor,
Functions of a multimeter?
A multimeter combines the functions of an ammeter, voltmeter, and ohmmeter and, so, can be used to measure current, voltage, and resistance by selecting the appropriate scale/setting.
How do you measure earthing using multimeter?
only earthing can not be measure. Anyone can only measures the voltage and the current with respect to the earthing .Thus it is impossible to measure the earthing.
What would you do to measure the current in a resistor?
Since the current in a resistor is the same as the current in the leads/wires on either side of the resister, I might use a clamp meter such as an Amprobe to measure current, if the current was alternating (AC). Otherwise, I would have to break one of the leads and insert an ammeter or a multimeter with an amp setting into the circuit. Afterwards the broken connection would have to be repaired.
What instruments used in measuring current and voltage?
Multi meterAnswerInstruments that measure current are called ammeters, and instruments that measure voltage are called voltmeters. An instrument that measures resistance is called an ohmmeter. Each of these functions can be combined into one instrument, called a multimeter.
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.

Can you calculate the resistance of a component using a meter and a resistor?
yes you can! you can use a multimeter and a resistor.
How do you measure life in a battery?
by using a multimeter.
What will be the resistance of a 10kohm resistor when measured using the multimeter with the terminals reversed?
Approximately 10,000 ohms.
Can you measure the internal resistance of dry cell using multimeter?
Well, you do use a multimeter to measure it, but not directly. You need at least one other thing besides the multimeter and the dry cell. Here's a simple way to do it: -- Take a resistor. With the meter set to measure resistance, measure the resistor's value. Call that 'R'. -- With the meter set to measure voltage, measure the voltage of the dry cell. Call it 'V1'. -- Connect the resistor across the dry cell. Measure the dry cell's voltage again. Call it 'V2 ' this time . V2 will be less than V1 . The internal resistance of the dry cell is R times (V1 - V2) / V2

What is a clamp meter?
It is a multimeter with a clamp on facility to measure current using it as a current transformer.
