About This Product
Resistance is measured only in a de-energised circuit, so the circuit is switched off and disconnected from the power source first. The probes are placed across the resistor or component and the value is read from the display, with the unit recorded carefully. Measuring resistance directly means students do not have to calculate it only from voltage and current readings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can resistance be measured while the circuit is powered? No. Switch off the circuit and disconnect it from the power source first, then place the probes across the resistor or component.
