In this post we’re going to show you how to use a multimeter. This post is mostly addressed for beginners who are starting out in electronics and have no idea how to use a multimeter and how it can be useful.We’ll explore the most common features on a multimeter and how to measure...
Step 7 Place the positive ohmmeter lead on the remaining capacitor terminal and watch the ohmmeter's reading. The capacitor passes the ohmmeter test if the needle moves to infinite, retreats slightly and then goes back to infinite. The capacitor fails if the needle does not move or if the ne...

The meter will read one of three things,0.00,1, or theactual resistor value. In this case, the meter reads 0.97, meaning this resistor has a value of 970Ω, or about 1kΩ (remember you are in the 20kΩ or 20,000 Ohm mode so you need to move the decimal three places to the righ...
Reading an ohm meter The ohm meter will have two leads, usually a red and a black. Since measuring resistance is done on an unpowered circuit, the polarity (which lead is attached to which end of the device or circuit being measured) will not matter. As you are measuring loose resistors...
How to use Multimeter to check Continuity Connect the red Test Lead to “VOhmsmA Jack” and the black lead to “COM” jack. Set the “Range Switch” toBuzzer. Connect test leads to the two points to be tested. If the resistance is lower than 100 Ohm then there will be...
Remember watts = volts x amps? An alternative way to work out power is from the resistance in ohms: So if I is the current in amps, V is the voltage, R is the resistance in ohms and P is the power in watts, Then: I = V / R from Ohm's law But also power in watts = vol...

Mains power insulation of a motor is tested using a high voltage leak test and the test can’t be performed with a volt-ohm meter. You can unplug the tool turn the switch on and test for the resistance from mains power to frame and it should be a value higher than the meter can rea...
