When checking resistance does the power have to be off?
Short answer: yes. Most modern multimeters will not be damaged by external power when measuring resistance. But they will give erroneous readings. It is best to remove the power and disconnect the measured resistance from the larger circuit. A multimeter determines resistance by applying a small voltage, and measuring the resulting current. If the resistor has an external voltage source, then it will interfere with the measurement. Furthermore, if the resistance is connected to a larger circuit, then the resistance of this larger circuit will also be involved.
What are the relationships between current power and resistance?
Power is inversely proportional to resistance. Ohm's law: Current is voltage divided by resistance Power law: Power is voltage times current, therefore power is voltage squared divided by resistance.
What is resistance power?
All resistances will emit heat energy when a current flows. The heat production rate (or power) can be found by any of these formulas: Power = Current * Voltage Power = Current2 * Resistance Power = Voltage2 / Resistance. Power is given in Watts when Current is in Amps, Voltage in Volts, and Resistance in Ohms.
What is 6ohm in amps?
Ohms is a measurement of resistance between the amp and speakers. Most home audio is 8 ohm, if you run 4 or 6 ohm speakers you cut resistance down and get more power out of the amp. Say your stereo is 100X2 @ 8ohm, if you use 4 ohm speakers you should get 50% more power BUT the amp is working twice as hard and can burn up.
What will happen when source resistance equals load restiance?
when source resistance and load resistance are equal maximum power is transfered
Can 1 ohm electrocute and kill?
An ohm is a measurement of resistance and not of power.
What are watts amps and ohms?
Watts measure power, or the rate at which energy is consumed or produced. Amps (amperes) measure electrical current, or the flow of electrons in a circuit. Ohms measure electrical resistance, or the opposition to the flow of current in a circuit.
How many ohms are in an watt?
They're are not related. Watts are measurement of power while Ohms are measurement of resistance. One watt equals one volt times one amp.

What is the voltmeter method of measurement of power?
What is the definition of voltmeter-ammeter method?
Why is one watt meter method of power measurement not applicable to unbalanced circuits?
The one wattmeter method will only measure the power of the phase to which it is connected. So, by reconnecting it to measure each phase separately, you can measure the power in each phase in turn, and add them up to give you the total power.
What is the relationship between Power Ampere and resistance?
power=i square*resistance or power=v suare/resistance
What in the world is power Fitness?
Power Fitness is a Hindu body weight method. The benefits are very similar to the benefits of normal exercise and resistance training they are just much stronger as it is more intense.
How do you measure the power by 3 voltmeter method?
first we connect the 3 volt meter in three loads then we measure the voltage and find the resistance of the loads then put the formula p=v/r so in this method we get the power by using 3 volt meter ....(prashant)
What is the symbol of unit of measurement of power?
The symbol for the unit of measurement of power is "W" for watt.
What is the difference between an ampere and an ohm?
An ampere (A) is a unit of electric current, measuring the rate of flow of electric charge. Ohm (Ω) is a unit of electrical resistance, measuring how much a material resists the flow of current. In simple terms, amps measure the flow of electricity, while ohms measure the resistance to that flow.
What effect does reducing resistance have on the power in a circuit?
Since power = voltage2/resistance, reducing the resistance will increase the power of the circuit. Incidentally, power is not 'consumed'; it's energy that's consumed.
