OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Suppose we wished to measure the resistance of some component
located a significant distance away from our ohmmeter. Such a
scenario would be problematic, because an ohmmeter measures all
resistance in the circuit loop, which includes the resistance of the
wires (R
wire
) connecting the ohmmeter to the component being
measured (R
subject
):
Usually, wire resistance is very small (only a few ohms per hundreds
of feet, depending primarily on the gauge (size) of the wire), but if
the connecting wires are very long, and/or the component to be
measured has a very low resistance anyway, the measurement error
introduced by wire resistance will be substantial.
