Which setting on a multimeter would be used to measure resistance?

To measure resistance, the appropriate setting on a multimeter is the ohmmeter. This setting allows the multimeter to send a small current through the component being tested and measures how much resistance is present in ohms (Ω). The ohmmeter function is specifically designed for this purpose, facilitating accurate readings of resistance in various components, circuits, and materials.

In contrast, the ammeter setting measures current flowing through a circuit, typically in amperes (A), which is not related to resistance. The voltmeter setting measures voltage, in volts (V), across components rather than the resistance of those components. Similarly, the capacitor option does not apply to measuring resistance, as it would typically refer to capacitance measurement, which is an entirely different property of electronic components.
