Meauring V, I & R Ohm meter: meaure reitance. Ohmmeter work by paing a mall current through the component and meauring the voltage produced. An ohmmeter doe not function with a circuit connected to a power upply. If you want to meaure the reitance of a particular component, you mut take it out of the circuit altogether and tet it eparately. If you try thi with the component connected into a circuit with a power upply, the mot likely reult i that the meter will be damaged.
