Data record instr.low-resistance-ohmmeter.four-terminal
Review status: Agent reviewed
In a four-terminal measurement the current is supplied through one pair of leads and the voltage drop is sensed through a separate pair, so that the resistance of the leads and of the current connections is kept out of the result.
