  2. Ohmmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohmmeter

    An analog ohmmeter. An ohmmeter is an electrical instrument that measures electrical resistance (the opposition offered by a circuit or component to the flow of electric current). Multimeters also function as ohmmeters when in resistance-measuring mode. An ohmmeter applies current to the circuit or component whose resistance is to be measured.

    Ohmmeter: Measures the resistance of a component Oscilloscope: Displays waveform of a signal, allows measurement of frequency, timing, peak excursion, offset, ... Psophometer: Measures AF signal level and noise Q meter: Measures Q factor of the RF circuits Tachometer: Measures speed of motors Signal analyzer

  4. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and...

    Also called chordal or DC resistance This corresponds to the usual definition of resistance; the voltage divided by the current R s t a t i c = V I. {\displaystyle R_{\mathrm {static} }={V \over I}.} It is the slope of the line (chord) from the origin through the point on the curve. Static resistance determines the power dissipation in an electrical component. Points on the current–voltage ...

  5. Contact resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_resistance

    For experimental characterization, a distinction must be made between contact resistance evaluation in two-electrode systems (for example, diodes) and three-electrode systems (for example, transistors). In two-electrode systems, specific contact resistivity is experimentally defined as the slope of the I–V curve at V = 0:

  6. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  7. Megohmmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megohmmeter

    Megohmmeter M1101M. A Megohmmeter or insulation resistance tester, is a special type of ohmmeter used to measure the electrical resistance of insulators. [1] Insulating components, for example cable jackets, must be tested for their insulation strength at the time of commissioning and as part of maintenance of high voltage electrical equipment and installations.

  8. Kelvin bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_bridge

    To overcome this, a second pair of resistors R′ 1 and R′ 2 form a second pair of arms of the bridge (hence 'double bridge') and are connected to the inner potential terminals of R s and R x (identified as P 2 and P′ 2 in the diagram). The detector D is connected between the junction of R 1 and R 2 and the junction of R′ 1 and R′ 2. [2]

  9. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...
