Measuring atty resistance

[Switched]

not sure why you linked to a forum to link to a forum to get a pic?

you could have either posted the image via pic url OR
do a one minute search on this forum and make the same analogy

there are more... but I am only proving a point that's all... also giving room for more info that is already provided here on ECF

Yeah well I didn't/couldn't find them

Hehe... yeah it is sometimes hard to maneuver around this place .. it was just my way of saying that is out there also the google search bar on the bottom of each ecf page HELPS ALOT it only searches with in the mass amounts of threads here on ECF


Now it still doesn't hurt to post... to gather up to date info

Perhaps if there wasn't a feud 'tween the 2 sites, it would have been easier to post a link.

Please tell me that you new what an L2 was when you started out I didn't think so. Besides with the amount of drivel that goes on daily, I can see how threads get buried. To sign on to see over 500 new posts in a couple of hours, is just to overwhelming and a waste of my time.

I have links to specific sections of interest only. Sorry

I found out the easiest way to put it is: If you take a electric cord, plug it in and tie it in a knot or pinch it tight it creates resistance. The more resistance the hotter it will get (many a house fire from pinched extension cords). Voltage plays in there also. Like House current will hurt you, but 220 dryer,stove, etc will kill you.
The atty works the same way, the higher the resistance or ohms the hotter it will burn. My 510 has atty's that read at 2.6 and one that reads at 3.4. The 3.4 burns much hotter.
Old Analog Meters (Car type) will read only 0 if you have continuity, not the small resistance of the atty.
New meter I set on 200 below 2K not the 200K. Some have a sound for the 200.
That's just my simple version of how I think it works.

I don't know of any official feud,, but that isn't of any concern for me.. i just use the interwebs for information and the occasional idle banter

Well I never heard of an L2 when I started out... of course maybe the reason was that they didn't exist .....But I do know what a clone is


and yes over 500 new posts can be just as overwhelming and a waste of time as OT posts in a thread.... SOOOO with that being said... I apologize for causing you to go OT in your own thread... and I will step aside for more resistance related posts .... I might even add a How to video to this thread to help any other peering eyes with the same concerns...


Good Day my friend

wrong, its exactly the opposite, lower resistance = more hot

until now i have not seen a meter that was not able to measure ohms in the 1-10 ohm range. a better meter will even measure really low ohms in the mOhm range. a meter can have a defective specific range or all ranges.
most of the times this happens, if someone measures for Ohm on a Voltage outlet. sometimes resulting in the meter doing a small vapesession.

Right on about the relationship between resistance and heat.

Maybe meters like that are used for more for electronics work than household wiring. When I was looking for one to build a one pound battlebot, I didn't look at one that didn't measure in that range. My cheapo ($10 rings a bell) meter measures in that 0.1 ohm range.
