About This Product
With the circuit switched off and disconnected, the test leads are shorted together and the meter is set to its zero-ohm reference if the model supports zero adjustment. The unknown resistor is then connected across the test terminals and its value read from the scale. Students can check resistors before Ohm’s law practicals and compare resistance in simple series and parallel networks. Besides buyers across India, the Ohmmeter Series Type can be exported to institutions in Portugal, Angola, Saint Lucia, Somalia and Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why are the leads shorted before measuring?
Shorting the test leads gives the zero-ohm reference, so the meter can be set to read zero before an unknown resistor is measured, where the model supports zero adjustment.
