As an ohmmeter the Model 8 Mark II measures from 1 ? up to 20 M? in three ranges.
12.
You can tell which ones these are because they are connected together, or you can use an ohmmeter.
13.
:Note that the ohmmeter has a battery in it, but I expect that you are allowed to use it.
14.
With a typical ohmmeter or digital multimeter, it may take a long length of very fine wire to get clear results.
15.
"' Electrical resistance meters "'can be thought of as similar to the Ohmmeters used to test electrical circuits.
16.
Note that the ESR is " not " simply the resistance that would be measured across a capacitor by an ohmmeter.
17.
Audible continuity buzzers or beepers are built into some models of multimeter, and the continuity setting is normally shared with the ohmmeter setting.
18.
Subsequent designs of ohmmeter provided a small battery to apply a voltage to a resistance via a galvanometer to measure the current through the resistance.
19.
Resistance measurements made at low voltage using a standard ohmmeter do not accurately represent the impedance of human skin over a significant range of conditions.
20.
Isolation resistance measurements may be achieved using a high input impedance ohmmeter, digital multimeter ( DMM ) or current-limited Hipot test instrument.
