How to use it and what to look for in the results.

Go to your local Radio Shack.. or heck, probably even a decent hardware store, and get an Ohm meter (or inexpensive multi-meter). You want one that can read down into the low-Ohms... because you want to see numbers like 2 Ohms. For this reason the digital multi-meters are better than the analog ones with the needle pointer.

I know that you can get digital multi-meters that will do the trick at places like Harbor Freight for under $10.

For example only:
