A multimeter, also called a VOM, is an ohmmeter, ammeter, and voltmeter combined in one case. A function knob can be turned to select the type of measurement to be made, such as volts, amps, or ohms. The multimeter's test lead connections to the circuit will depend on whether you are using it as a voltmeter, an ammeter, or an ohmmeter.
an ohm meter OR multimeter is used to measure the electrical resistance...
1 million ohms are 1 megaohms.
Yes, 1 k-ohm means 1 kilohm or 1000 ohms.

Ohms scale on a multimeter
You check and adjust instrument zero and, if you are measuring ohms, you also check and adjust ohms zero.
a BJT may be tested as two diodes using the ohms scale. a FET cannot be tested with just a multimeter.
The resistance when the function switch is set to x1 in a multimeter can vary depending on the specific model. Typically, when set to x1, the multimeter will measure resistance up to 200 ohms. Consult the user manual for your specific multimeter for more accurate information.
Resistance is measured in ohms, so some refer to the resistance scale as the ohms scale.
Approximately 10,000 ohms.
Infinite ohms is what a multimeter will read across an open switch or a broken connection. It means that no electrons will pass between the points being measured.
To test a wire in a circuit, use a multimeter set to the resistance (ohms) setting. Disconnect the wire and touch one probe to each end of the wire. If the multimeter reads zero ohms, the wire is continuous (no breaks). If the multimeter reads infinity or a very high resistance, there is a break in the wire.
Usually speakers are rated by DC impedance, so you can use a simple multimeter to measure their resistance. Typical values are 4 to 32 ohms.
They allow the user to test: Volts (AC and DC), Amps, Ohms and basic continuity.

A multimeter is used for measuring electricity and because it has many different functions, it has been named a "multi"meter. They generally measure AC and DC voltage, amps, and resistance (ohms).
