Generally, dryer coils either work or they don't. A multimeter can help you determine if a dryer coil is "burned out". If the coil has "continuity", it's probably fine. Generally, if there is a hot spot in the coil it will burn out rapidly.
Resistance is measured with an ohmmeter. A link is provided to a brief article on the ohmmeter posted at Wikipedia.Note that it is unusual in this day and age to have a device that will measure ohms and nothing else. The ohmmeter is usually included among the functions of a multimeter, and usually a digital multimeter or DMM.
A multimeter is used to measure various properties of electricity. The "multi" refers to it multiple functions which can range from volt meter, current meter, resistance meter. The most common use would depend on the users preference to what is needed and measured most frequently.

They form vessel shapes using clay coils.
The electrical device is a transformer.
To test a dryer thermistor, you can use a multimeter to measure its resistance. Disconnect the thermistor from the dryer and set the multimeter to the resistance setting. Place the multimeter probes on the thermistor's terminals and check the reading. Compare the reading to the manufacturer's specifications to determine if the thermistor is functioning properly.
To test coax cable for signal, you can use a cable tester or a multimeter. Connect one end of the coax cable to the tester and the other end to the device you want to test. Check the tester or multimeter for a signal reading to determine if the cable is functioning properly.
To test a dryer thermostat, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity. Disconnect the thermostat from the dryer and set the multimeter to the ohms setting. Place the multimeter probes on the thermostat terminals and check for a reading of zero ohms, indicating continuity. If there is no reading, the thermostat may be faulty and needs to be replaced.
To test a dryer thermostat, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity. Disconnect the thermostat from the dryer and set the multimeter to the ohms setting. Place the multimeter probes on the thermostat terminals and check for a reading of zero ohms, indicating continuity. If there is no reading, the thermostat may be faulty and in need of replacement.
If you don't have a battery load tester, you'll have to use a digital multimeter to test for voltage and amperage.
To test a dryer heating element, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity. Disconnect the dryer from power, remove the heating element, and test for continuity using the multimeter. If there is no continuity, the heating element is faulty and needs to be replaced.
To test a dryer thermostat for proper functioning, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity. Disconnect the thermostat from the dryer and set the multimeter to the ohm setting. Place the multimeter probes on the thermostat terminals and check for a reading of zero ohms, indicating continuity. If there is no reading, the thermostat may be faulty and in need of replacement.
To determine if an outlet is grounded, you can use a multimeter or a plug-in circuit tester. Simply insert the multimeter probes or the tester into the outlet slots and check for a reading or indicator light that confirms the presence of a ground connection. If there is no reading or light, the outlet may not be grounded.
To test if a coax cable is live, you can use a cable tester or a multimeter to check for electrical continuity. Simply connect the tester or multimeter to both ends of the coax cable and look for a reading to determine if there is a live signal passing through the cable.
To test a coax cable without using a multimeter, you can use a cable tester specifically designed for coax cables. These testers can check for continuity and signal strength without the need for a multimeter.
To troubleshoot and test the heating element in your dryer, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity. First, unplug the dryer and locate the heating element. Remove the wires connected to it and set your multimeter to the continuity setting. Place the multimeter probes on the terminals of the heating element. If the multimeter beeps or shows a reading close to zero, the heating element is functioning properly. If there is no continuity, the heating element may be faulty and needs to be replaced.
To determine if the dryer heating element is bad, you can use a multimeter to test for continuity. Disconnect the dryer from the power source, locate the heating element, and test for continuity by touching the multimeter probes to the terminals of the heating element. If there is no continuity, the heating element is likely bad and needs to be replaced.
