Why do we need to measure different physical quantities in real
life?
 1. Know the value of individual
calibration in the ohmmeter scale.

An ohmmeter scale is nonlinear which means the value of one

line or calibration may not be true to other lines.

It is therefore proper to assign values to every line for proper

and accurate interpretation
2. The scale can be divided into ten areas where
individual treatment must be made.
Several mathematical computations will be involved to
show the manner how values of individual lines are
resolved.
3. Range multipliers: RX1, RX10,
RX1K, RX10K

Range Multiplier- The portion of the ohmmeter where the actual

reading is being multiplied.
Note: If Rx is greater than 1,000 ohms, and the R x 1 range is being
used, the ohmmeter cannot measure it.

Divide the class into five groups.

Identify the value of each line(calibration).

Group 1: 0-2 area and 2-10 area

Group 2: 10-20 and 20-50

Group 3: 50-100 and 100-200

Group 4: 200-300 and 300-500

Group 5: 500-1000 and 1000-2000

 Each group will identify the value of each line/calibration in every area
assigned to them.

Group 1: 0-2 area and 2-10 area

Group 2: 10-20 and 20-50

Group 3: 50-100 and 100-200

Group 4: 200-300 and 300-500

Group 5: 500-1000 and 1000-2000
