Learner’s Task

Lesson Overview

OHMMETER
Ohmmeter is an electrical measuring instrument usually used to
measure the value of resistance in the circuit. It can be classified as
digital type and analog type. Digital type ohmmeters automatically
tell the reading of electrical resistance by displaying digits. On the
other hand, Analog ohmmeters require you to read the calibration
as the pointer moves and steady. Ohmmeter test probes are
placed parallel to the load terminals to check the resistance. The
unit in measuring resistance is ohms, unit abbreviation is Ω and the
symbol is R.
 PARTS OF A OHMMETER (Analog)

Below are the basic parts of a Voltmeter:

1. SCALE – shows the calibration and numerical information

needed for reading the value of voltage.

2. POINTER – needle like part that points in the scale for voltmeter
reading.

3. RANGE SELECTOR KNOB – a rotary selector switch used to select

the required range of voltage to be measured.

4. ADJUSTMENT SCREW – a small screw-like part that sets and adjust

pointer position.

5. TEST PROBES – used to insert on the terminals of the circuit to be

measured.
 OHMMETER SCALE

Remember that:

From 0 to 2 each
calibration is equal to .2

From 2 to10 each

calibration is equal to .5

From 10 to 20 each
calibration is equal to 1

From 20 to 50 each
calibration is equal to 2

From 50 to 100 each

calibration is equal to 5
 From 100 to 200 each
calibration is equal to 20

From 200 to 500 each

calibration is equal to
100

From 500 to 1000 each

calibration is equal to
500

From 1000 to 2000 each

calibration is equal to
1000

2000 to is infinity

OHMMETER READING USING SCALE 8

Below are examples how you should read an analog
ohmmeter using the scale. Remember that whatever range is
being selected, that is only your point of reference in counting.
EXAMPLE 1

ELABORATION: RX10

Remember that from 0 to 2, each calibration is equal to .2, so if we

are going to count based from where the pointer stopped, the
value is 2. Since the range selected is RX10, we are going to
multiply 2 by 10. So, 2x10 = 20 ohms or 20 Ω.
EXAMPLE 2

RX1
00

ELABORATION:

Remember that from 2 to 10, each calibration is equal to .5

Notice that the pointer passed beyond 5 and stopped in the
middle, so how are we going to read this?

Step 1: When you are going to count before you hit the pointer,
your initial reading is 5.

Step 2: Note that each calibration from 2 to 10 is .5, if in case the

pointer is in the middle just get the half value of .5, and the half
value is .25

Step 3: Just add the half value which is .25 to our initial reading
which was 5
So, it will be .25 + 5 = 5.25

Step 4: Since the range selected is RX100, we are going to multiply

5.25 by 100.
So, 5.25 x 100 = 525 ohms or 525 Ω
EXAMPLE 3

RX1
ELABORATION:

Remember that from 100 to 200, each calibration is equal to 20, so

if we are going to count based from where the pointer stopped,
the value is 140. Since the range selected is RX1, we are going to
multiply 140 by 1.
So, 140x1 = 140 ohms or 140 Ω.

EXAMPLE 4

RX1
0
ELABORATION:
Remember that from 200 to 500, each calibration is equal to 100.
Notice that the pointer passed beyond 200 and stopped in the
middle, so how are we going to read this?
Step 1: When you are going to count before you hit the pointer,
your initial reading is 300.

Step 2: Note that each calibration from 200 to 500 is 100, if in case
the pointer is in the middle just get the half value of 100, and the
half value is 50

Step 3: Just add the half value which is 50 to our initial reading
which was 300
So, it will be 50 + 300 = 350

Step 4: Since the range selected is RX10, we are going to multiply

350 by 10.
So, 350 x 10 = 3,500 ohms or 3,500 Ω

EXAMPLE 5

RX1

ELABORATION:

In this case, it is obvious that the pointer passed beyond 2000 and
stopped between this symbol . Since there is no definite value
8

from these calibrations, our answer will automatically be Infinity
