Topic summary

The discussion centers on calculating an unknown resistance labeled R4 in a circuit diagram. The original poster seeks a method or component to determine R4, proposing the formula R4 = V3/I, where V3 is a voltage measurement and I is current. Responses highlight issues with the provided circuit diagram, including missing power sources and incorrect voltmeter symbols, which affect measurement validity. It is clarified that an ohmmeter or a combination of a voltmeter and ammeter with a dividing function can be used to measure resistance by calculating the ratio of voltage to current. The importance of proper meter placement is emphasized, such as connecting the ammeter in series and voltmeters in parallel. The discussion also notes that the circuit as drawn lacks a voltage source, making current flow and resistance measurement impossible without modification. Suggestions include using a multimeter capable of measuring voltage, current, and resistance, and ensuring the circuit diagram is correctly formatted and complete for accurate analysis.
