I have a spool of Teflon coated copper wire. I am trying to determine
the resistance of a one foot piece, but both of my meters read
differently. How can I get a reliable reading? I am using DVMs.
Thanks in advance.
Run an amp through it and measure the voltage drop -
same principle as many older micro-ohmeters.
Helps if you have a fairly precise amp.
Get to use all your meter ranges and sockets, in the
process. Lots of room for mistakes, though.
