Data record instr.low-resistance-ohmmeter.standing-emf-reversal-averaging

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

A standing electromotive force on a circuit that joins different metals is removed by taking a reading, reversing the polarity of the test leads, taking a second reading and using the arithmetic average; instruments with automatic current reversal display the corrected result without operator intervention.
