To measure resistance, you could use an ohmmeter. But ohmmeters are not particularly accurate, so other methods are preferable. These include the use of Wheatstone's Bridge (which compares the unknown resistance with known values) or a Ducter (for very low resistances).

What device is used to measure the resistance of a resistor?

You can use a multi-meter to measure resistance. The specific portion of the meter for measuring resistance is called an ohmmeter.


Does resistance use amps or voltage?

Resistance doesn't "use" either. Resistance is the division of voltage by current. It can be though of as a measure of how hard it is to push electrons through a substance.


What equipment do you use to measure resistance?

A multimeter is typically used to measure resistance. It has a setting specifically for measuring resistance and uses probes to make contact with the component being measured. The resistance is then displayed on the multimeter screen.


What is the use of resistance box?

The use of a resistance box or a "Decade Box" is to help calibrate instruments used to measure electrical values such as Voltage, Current, and Resistance. Without them you would not have a known value of resistance to use as a set point.


How can you measure resistance by using resistance thermometer?

You use an ohmeter. It sends current through the wire to determine value.


What units do you measure resistance in?

Your measure resistance in OHMS ΩOhms.


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.


How do you measure inductance?

You can use a LCR (Inductance, Capacitance, Resistance) meter if you can find one.


How can you find resistance of a component?

To measure the resistance of a component, you can use a multimeter set to the resistance (ohms) setting. Simply connect the two leads of the multimeter to the ends of the component, ensuring that there is no power running through the component. The multimeter will then display the resistance value of the component.


Which is used to measure a very small resistance of wires.?

To accurately measure very small resistances, you could use a Wheatstone Bridge.


How do you measure the resistance of a motor?

we can measure the resistance of the motor by using voltmeter ammeter method of by directly using a multimeter across the armature terminals of the motor in voltmeter ammeter method we should use a less value of dc voltage to find the resistance


How and what is a multimeter use for?

a VOM is typically used to measure resistance, potential (voltage) and current (amps).
