Resistance is the name given to something which opposes the flow of an electrical current in a circuit and an ohmmeter is used to measure it.The Ohm is the name of the unit used to measure resistance.Further noteThe most common type of instrument used to measure resistance is a multimeter, which includes an ohmmeter, an ammeter to measure the current flow in amps and a voltmeter to measure the potential difference in volts.
Answer: Inductive reactance is the opposition to the change in current in an electrical circuit and is abbreviated Xl. Answer: The opposition to current flow is called resistance (for DC), or impedance (for AC; often just called resistance); the unit for both is the ohm.
You can use a multi-meter to measure resistance. The specific portion of the meter for measuring resistance is called an ohmmeter.
Wheatstone bridge is used to calculate the resistance of unknown resistor in the circuit.
The conventional unit of electrical resistance is the ohm
