To identify the emitter and collector in a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) using an ohmmeter test, first ensure the transistor is not connected to any circuit. Set the ohmmeter to the diode test mode, and connect the positive lead to the base and the negative lead to one of the outer terminals; if it shows a forward bias (low resistance), that terminal is the collector. Repeat the process with the negative lead on the base and the positive lead on the other outer terminal; if it shows a forward bias, that terminal is the emitter, confirming the configuration of the BJT.

A continuity test is a simple test, used to determine whether there is a break in a circuit. This can be done, for example, using an ohmmeter which passes current through the circuit from its internal battery -a deflection (analogue meter) or a '000' reading (digital meter) indicates that there is continuity. A continuity test MUST NOT be performed on an energised circuit, as this will likely damage the ohmmeter and present a shock hazard to the user.
Yes, but only at a basic level. If the diode measures low resistance in one direction, high resistance in the other, you know that it is not short-circuited. But... 1. If it's a voltage-regulator/reference (Zener) diode, you do not know whether it has the correct breakdown voltage, 2. If diode leakage is important, you have not tested for leakage and the ohmmeter test does not do this reliably, 3. Your ohmmeter test voltage is probably no more than 9 volts, so you have not tested for high-voltage breakdown, and 4. If it's a rectifier (especially a high-current diode) you have not tested its forward voltage at full load current.
To identify the emitter, base, and collector terminals of a phototransistor like the SM 0038, you can refer to its datasheet, which typically provides a pinout diagram. If the datasheet is unavailable, you can use a multimeter to test the terminals: apply light to the phototransistor, and measure the current flow between terminals to determine which is the emitter (typically the terminal with lower voltage) and collector (higher voltage). The base is usually the terminal that controls the current flow and may not be directly connected in some configurations.
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.

The main rule to be followed when using an ohmmeter is to have the circuit under test de energized from the power source.
A low resistance ohmmeter is used
Reverse resistance should be infinite.

Megger tests are important because the test makes sure that your electrical insulation is safe and operating as intended. Megger tests are performed using a Meg-ohmmeter.
Yes, but only at a basic level. If the diode measures low resistance in one direction, high resistance in the other, you know that it is not short-circuited. But... 1.

The easiest way is to use an Ohmmeter. This function is usually built into most multimeter that can be bought at any hardware store. An Ohmmeter measures the electrical resistance of a material. The lower the number the more conductive that material is. If the Ohm reading is above the maximum reading on the meter then their is infinite resistance which means that the material is not a conductor of electricity.
