Measuring Ohms with a Multimeter is a crucial step in testing the resistance of electrical components like resistors, wires, and other electronic parts. It helps determine if a circuit is complete, has high resistance, or is open, allowing electricians, technicians, and hobbyists to troubleshoot and repair electrical systems accurately.
A multimeter is a versatile tool that combines multiple functions into one device, including measuring voltage, current, and resistance. When set to the ohms function, the multimeter sends a small current through the component being tested and measures the voltage drop across it. Ohm’s Law (V=IR) is used to calculate the resistance (R) based on the measured voltage (V) and current (I).
