It depends on the model and style of ohmmeter. Insert test lead connectors into the ground socket and the socket marked for ohms (it may also be marked for other things). There should be a dial to rotate to an ohms setting. Connect the other ends of the leads to the device for which resistance is being measured and read the meter. WARNING: be sure the component being tested is not connected to any power source or you risk burning out the unit.
When the lead probes of an ohmmeter are touched together, the ohmmeter should read close to zero ohms, indicating a short circuit or very low resistance between the probes.
it is measured in Ohmmeter Ohms
A: To read ohms you will use it by reading in parallel and without any external voltage applied
An ohmmeter measures ohms. These are the measurement of electrical resistance. The symbol for ohms is the capital Omega symbol, a symbol that resembles an upside down horseshoe.
An ohmmeter measures electrical resistance. This is one part of "impedance", that prevents electricity from flowing freely from one part of a circuit to another. Resistance is measured in "ohms".
The simple solution if you are in the consumer repair business is to test it with an ohmmeter. Set the meter scale to x1. Connect the test leads to the diode and it will read either 10 ohms for a silicon diode or no reading. Reverse the lead connections and it must now read the opposite of the first two parameters. If you don't have about ten ohms in either connection then the diode is open. If you have 10 to 100 ohms in both connections then the diode is shorted or leaking. If you have no ten ohms in either connection then the diode is "open. Germanium diodes will read about 2-3 ohms on the flow side and ma show a little meter movement on the reverse connection.
The reading will be very close to zero ohms.
Use a multimeter or digital multimeter and set it to the ohmmeter mode. Put the test leads on the speaker terminals. It won't be perfect, but if it says 1.8 ohms or so then it's a 2 ohm speaker.
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).
It would be the sum of the two resistances, as they are connected in series.
Set a Volt-Ohm meter to Ohms and put the two leads from meter across the fuse. One on each end where the metal is located. The meter should read zero ohms if the fuse is NOT blown.
