Technology and Livelihood Education 7/8 - Electronic Products Assembly and Servicing (EPAS) 7/8 Fourth
In this lesson, you will learn to identify object or component to be measured, obtain correct specifications from relevant
source, and select measuring tools in line with job requirements.
The most commonly used electronic components in the field are known as resistors. A resistor is a discrete component
that offers opposition to the flow of current. Resistors have different types in accordance with the material used (i.e., carbon-
composition and the wire- wound resistor). According to construction, we also have the fixed resistor and the variable resistor.
Resistors are very common and are the cheapest electronic components in the market for so many years. Their features are
so interesting and are very colorful. That’s why resistors are very popular among students studying electronics. One distinct
feature of this resistance-giving component is the way its value is determined. It uses a set of colors which follows a code for
its assumed resistance expressed in OHMS
D. Development (Time Frame: Day 1/2)
OHMMETER
An ohmmeter is a measuring instrument used to determine the resistance of a component or equipment. This
instrument is a great help in knowing the actual resistance of the resistors we use in the two operation sheets. The commonly
used ohmmeter in electro-electrical laboratories nowadays is embedded in a multi-function testing instrument called the
Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter (VOM). For this discussion the VOM will be used but confined only to the ohmmeter section.
Parts of an Ohmmeter
1. Pointer—It is the most important part of the ohmmeter. It indicates the value of electrical quantity that has been
measured.
2. Ohmmeter Scale- Nonlinear scale where reading of the resistance is based. It is usually found in the uppermost part
of the VOM.
3. Range Multiplier- The portion of the ohmmeter where the actual reading is being multiplied.
4. Zero Ohm Adjustment - It is the portion of the ohmmeter where it is adjusted when the pointer of the ohmmeter fails
to point to zero.
5. Test Probe- Serves as the input portion of the ohmmeter. Red test probe becomes positive in some instances, while
the black one is negative.
E. Engagement (Time Frame: Day 3)
Learning Task 1: Match Column A (functions and uses) with Column B (ohmmeter parts). Write the letters only.
2.The portion of the ohmmeter where the actual reading B. Ohmmeter scale
being multiplied
