Title: Resistance Measurement


1
Resistance Measurement
  • Most Often Used Methods
  • Ampermeter and Voltmeter Method
  • Whetstone Bridge Method

2
A-m and V-m Method
  • Easy to perform,
  • Easy to calculate the resistance,
  • Easy to calculate the measurement error,
  • Accuracy depend on the accuracy of
    instrumentation,
  • Resistance of contacts influences the results,

3
Two A-m V-m Methods
  • V-m Connected in Front of A-m,
  • A-m Connected in Front of V-m
  • Which method to use when???

CONCLUSION
  • V-m in front of A-m - for LARGER R
  • A-m in front of V-m - for SMALLER R
