hi , I read some literature about analogue multimeter, in the website all about circuits, on the following link. I wanted to know about ohms scale ina an analogue multimeter, which uses needle reading

Set your multimeter to the highest resistance range available. The resistance function is usually denoted by the unit symbol for resistance: the Greek letter omega (Ω), or sometimes by the word "ohms." Touch the two test probes of your meter together. When you do, the meter should register 0 ohms of resistance. If you are using an analog meter, you will notice the needle deflect full-scale when the probes are touched together, and return to its resting position when the probes are pulled apart.

I set the multimeter to the highest resistance range, and touched both the test probes together, but needle did not deflect the full scale. I purchased a very simple smallest needle multimeter. it does not use battery.

Hello,

You just hijacked a very old thread:

Now you have a thread of your own.

The link to the file you posted is on your local computer.

I would suggest that you have a meter movement that will indicate current.

If you understand the process of determining the resistance of component, you will see that a source of current - at the very least a battery - is necessary. See the link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohmmeter
