If the circuit is carrying current then that means that the load (resistance) is in the circuit. if an ohm meter is connected in the live circuit then there would be some voltage drop at the ohm meter but as the meter has very less resistance, this would damage the instrument.
First of all, in an active circuit, there are voltages flowing through various nodes. If you try to measure the resistor, those voltages will cause error in your meter, or may damage your meter. Second of all, even if you cut the power, any loop in the circuit around the resistor will affect the measured impedance. Unless you are certain that only the resistor will see the current introduced by the meter, you must take the resistor out of circuit to measure it.
a meter uses its own supply to measure resistance. you dont have to remove the resistor from the circuit but you must isolate it from the circuit supply to get an accurate reading.
an ohm meter OR multimeter is used to measure the electrical resistance...
Current will be decreased because of the resistance of the ammeter added to the circuit's resistance. In other words total resistance increases.
Usually a volt meter is placed across a component to measure the voltage drop across that component. Doing this places the volt meter resistance in parallel with that component's resistance, which will always lower the total resistance. Since the volt meter resistance is usually very large relative to the resistance of the element being measured, the total resistance does not change significantly. The formula for total resistance of two parallel elements is: Rtot = (R1*R2)/(R1+R2), as R1 (the volt meter) >> R2, Rtot ~= (R1*R2) / (R1) = R2 If a volt meter is placed into a circuit instead of around an element of that circuit, it will raise the resistance of the circuit, load the circuit with, and interrupt "normal" operation of the circuit (normal operation = how things would be without the meter in place). More importantly, the volt meter would then be measuring the voltage developped across itself (instead of an element of the circuit), which is not the point of this tool / this would be a misapplication of a volt meter.
Resistance

With a meter that measures Ohms.
A voltmeter uses the principle of Ohm's law, which states simply that the amount of current that flows in a circuit is equal to the voltage applied divided by the resistance of the circuit. Therefore, if one were to connect a known resistance in series with a meter across a voltage source, then the meter deflection would be proportional to the current flow and hence the voltage. The meter is calibrated in volts so that the test voltage can be read directly. The meter used in a voltmeter is very sensitive, typically 50 micro-amperes so that it does not affect the reading by its load on the circuit. pizza is good when volts don't go thru!!
An ammeter is connected in series in a branch of the circuit carrying current, and measures the current in that branch. The resistance of the meter must be very low ... ideally zero ... in order to avoid influencing the circuit when it's installed. If you intentionally insert a resistance in series with the meter, then inserting the meter in a circuit changes the current in that branch. In general, it's not acceptable for the act of measuring to change the quantity being measured, unless you are closely related to Werner Heisenberg..
Circuit continuity can be tested by using an ohm meter.
First of all, in an active circuit, there are voltages flowing through various nodes. If you try to measure the resistor, those voltages will cause error in your meter, or may damage your meter. Second of all, even if you cut the power, any loop in the circuit around the resistor will affect the measured impedance. Unless you are certain that only the resistor will see the current introduced by the meter, you must take the resistor out of circuit to measure it.
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.
if the resistance of the meter is low that will act as a parallel load effecting the reading. If the meter can be made with infinite resistance then the meter will not effects the actual reading.
