we can measure the resistance if we know the voltage and current passing through a line (V=IR)

AnswerYou can measure its approximate resistance using an ohmmeter, but ohmmeters aren't particularly accurate. A better way would be to use a Wheatstone Bridge, which is highly accurate.

A "multimeter" to test resistances, voltages, amperages. An external "clamp" meter to measure high ac currents. A "mega" meter to test insulation.


Are all resistances in series connections the same?

No, all resistances in series connections are not the same. Different value resistances can be series together. The results of the resistances in series are always the same, they are additive.

How do you test a ignition module on 1992 Honda civic?

Many autopart stores have a machine to test it. The machines use a universal adapter to hook into the ignition control module. The ignition control module is in the distributor. If you mean the part that contains the ignition coil, when mine went bad I probed it with an ohmeter and then asked the parts store if I could test the resistances in a new coil before I bought it. Since the resistances of certain terminals weren't even close, I knew I had a bad coil.

What are the series circuit rules?

current is constant in the series circuit. The resistances of the components add up and the potential differences is divided propotionally over the components depending on their resistances.


How can the Murray loop test be used for locating the phase to phase fault?

By using wheatstone bridge principle we can proceed to find the phase to phase fault's.i:e the wheatstone bridge is mainly used to find the resistances/inductance/capacitances.it is mainly consists of 4 resistances like this(<>)& having a galvanometer in centre&a battery is connected to it. when ever the current flowing through the galvanometer is zero by varying the one resistance,then the ratio of two resistances connected at one end is equal to other two resistances ratio.By using the same principle ,one phase is connected to known resistance and a good cable is shorted to the fault cable.and other resistane is connected to the good cable&a galvanometer is connected to it.by varying the resistances the galvanometer shows null reading.then bridge is balanced & by using bridge equation we can solve to find the distance where the error is located
