TEEL 3162








   
Resistance is measured with an instrument called ohmmeter.

To measure resistance, select ohms and place the lead connectors red to V /ohms/continuity and black to common. Then touch the resistor terminals with the leads. You will see its value in the display.

When measuring resistance, never touch the resistor terminals with your fingers. The measurement will be affected with your body resistance.
