What else can I help you with?
Should the ohmmeter be connected to the circuit while the power is being applied or only when the circuit is turned off?
Turn off the supply before using the ohmmeter,it will damaged your ohmmeter when supply is present.
What is the difference between a series ohmmeter and a shunt ohmmeter?
Basically, your series and shunt ohmmeters differ in circuit configuration. Your series ohmmeter is configured in a way that your "meter" (which has internal resistance) is connected in series to your "measured resistor" and we all know that those TWO resistances will ADD up causing some sort of inaccuracy. While on the other hand, your shunt ohmmeter is configured in a way wherein your "meter" is connected in PARALLEL to your "measured resistor" that will ease-up the inaccuracy but will only measure resistances ranging from 200 Ohms to 400 Ohms (typically and depending on your configuration).
How is a simple ohmmeter constructed?
A simple ohmmeter is constructed using a battery, a galvanometer, and a set of resistors. The battery supplies a constant voltage, while the galvanometer measures the current flowing through the circuit when a resistor is connected. The resistance is calculated using Ohm's Law (R = V/I), where V is the battery voltage and I is the current indicated by the galvanometer. The device may also include a scale or a dial to provide a direct reading of resistance values.
Why multimeter cannot used for measurement of insulation resistance?
Because ordinary ohmmeters are calibrated to measure a range of resistance values that are significantly lower than the resistance of insulation. It should also be realised that we usually test insulation resistance while subjecting the insulation to a high electric field, which a normal ohmmeter is incapable of producing.
What is the diffrece between disconnected and connected environment?
Connected environment is one in which a user is required to be constantlyconnected to the Data Source while performing any operation in-order to keep the data up-to-date, whereas in Disconnected environment no constant connection to the Data Source is required.Moreover in connected environment the data concurrency effects can beeasily resolved but Connected environment causes network traffic. But in Disconnected environment since the user is not directly connected to the data source, the user can connect to the data source as and when required and hence it allows for Multiple applications to simultaneously interact with the Data Source. It also improves the scalability and performance of the applications.Few more differences can be contributed as the Connected Environment uses Datareader while the Disconnected one uses Dataset. This results in the fact that Connected Environment is Slower in speed in comparison to Disconnected environment for DML Operations. But as far the Connected Environment is concerned we get updated data and less chances of Dirty read, whereas Disconnected environment suffers from the major problem of Dirty read.Thanks & Regards,Shoaib R Khan - SRK

What is the difference in series type and shunt type ohmmeter?
In a series type ohmmeter, the current passes through the resistance being measured, while in a shunt type ohmmeter, the current is diverted around the resistance being measured. Series type ohmmeters are usually less accurate but simpler, while shunt type ohmmeters are more accurate but more complex.

What precuation must be taken when using an ohmmeter?
Be certain the circuit is de-energized and discharged before connecting an ohmmeter.Do not apply power to a circuit while measuring resistance.When you are finished using an ohmmeter, switch it to the OFF position if one is provided and remove the leads from the meter.Always adjust the ohmmeter for 0 (or ∞ in shunt ohmmeter) after you change ranges before making the resistance measurement.
Why must power be turned off when measuring the resistance of a circuit?
If an external Voltage is applied to a multimeter while the multimeter`s function switch is in the Ohm meter position then the Ohmmeter is apt to be destroyed or disabled. Therefore the simplest answer is that the power must be turned off in order to avoid damage to the Ohm meter and possibly to yourself caused by Voltages present in the circuit while the power is own. Another reason of course is because a valid Ohm reading can not be obtained while Voltages are present across the resistance that is being measured because the Ohmmeter itself applies a Voltage across the resistance and then a sampling of the current through the unknown resistance is used by the Ohmmeter`s circuitry to cause a calibrated deflection of the Ohmmeter and thus display on the meter`s dial the Ohmic value of the unknown resistance. For the same reasons as above it is also a good practice to discharge all the capacitors in the circuit after the power is turned off and before any in circuit resistance measurements are made.
What are the differences between resistors connected in parallel and resistors connected in series, and how do these configurations affect the overall resistance in a circuit?
Resistors connected in parallel have the same voltage across them, while resistors connected in series have the same current passing through them. In a parallel configuration, the total resistance decreases as more resistors are added, while in a series configuration, the total resistance increases.
Is the scale of an ohmmeter linear?
The scale of an ohmmeter is not linear; it is typically logarithmic. This means that as resistance values increase, the corresponding scale intervals become progressively larger. This design allows for easier reading of both low and high resistance values, as low resistances can be more precisely measured while still providing a readable scale for higher values.
Why one of the leads of resistor connected in electronic circuit is opened while measuring its resistance?
You open one of the leads of resistor connected in electronic circuit while measuring its resistance in order to not introduce error cause by other components in the circuit.
How can you tell if an object is a conductor or insulator?
you can use a multimeter (a.k.a VOLTMETER) attach the wires to either sides of the object if you get a reading on the screen or if the needle moves than you know that it is an electronic conductor

It should also be realised that we usually test insulation resistance while subjecting the insulation to a high electric field, which a normal ohmmeter is incapable of producing.
What is principle of thermistor?
The thermistors are resistors whose resistance changes with the temperature. While for most of the metals the resistance increases with temperature, the thermistors respond negatively to the temperature and their resistance decreases with the increase in temperature. Since the resistance of thermistors is dependent on the temperature, they can be connected in the electrical circuit to measure the temperature of the body.
