Takeaways

  • 🔧 Connect the multimeter probes correctly as per the tutorial's instructions.
  • 🔄 Set the digital multimeter's rotary switch to the 200 ohms range, which is the minimum setting.
  • 📏 Touch the probes to any side of the resistor to measure the resistance.
  • ❌ If no resistance value shows, it indicates the resistor has a higher resistance than the current range.
  • ⚙️ Rotate the multimeter switch to a higher range (kilo-ohms) to recheck the resistor.
  • 📉 The multimeter displayed a reading of 0.993 ohms, meaning the resistor's resistance is close to 1 kilo-ohm.
  • 🔍 If a second resistor shows no reading, increase the range and test again.
  • ⬆️ Continue increasing the range if the multimeter still shows no reading for higher resistance values.
  • 🧮 When set to 200 kilo-ohms, the multimeter displayed a resistance of 178 kilo-ohms.
  • 👍 This tutorial explains how to measure resistance using a multimeter, with steps for increasing the range when necessary.

Q & A

  • What is the first step to measure resistance using a digital multimeter?

    -The first step is to connect both probes according to the tutorial instructions.

  • Which setting should the multimeter be on to measure low resistance?

    -The digital multimeter should be set to the 200 ohms range, which is the minimum range of the multimeter.

  • What should you do if the multimeter doesn't show any resistance value?

    -If the multimeter doesn't show any resistance value, it means the resistor has a higher resistance, so you should rotate the rotary switch to a higher range, such as kilo-ohms, and check again.

  • What does a reading of 0.993 ohms indicate about the resistor?

    -A reading of 0.993 ohms means the resistor has approximately 1 kilo-ohm of resistance.

  • What should you do if the multimeter still doesn't show any reading after increasing the range?

    -If there is still no reading, continue to increase the resistance range and check the reading again.

  • What was the resistance of the second resistor in the tutorial?

    -The second resistor showed a resistance of 178 kilo-ohms.

  • What does it mean if the multimeter doesn’t show any reading when testing a resistor?

    -It means the resistance of the resistor might be higher than the current range set on the multimeter, so you should increase the resistance range.

  • Why is it important to increase the resistance range on the multimeter when testing resistors?

    -Increasing the resistance range allows the multimeter to measure higher resistances that may exceed the capacity of lower ranges.

  • Can you touch the probes to either side of the resistor during the measurement?

    -Yes, you can touch the probes to either side of the resistor as it doesn't matter which side is connected to which probe.

  • What should viewers do if they found the video useful?
