3. What happens when you only touch one probe to the resistor / resistive component? If we touch only one probe to the resistor / resistive component then multimeter will not be able to measure the resistance of resistor / resistive component. It happened so because touching only one probe of multimeter with the resistor doesn't make the circuit complete. Without any completion of the circuit, it is impossible to measure the resistance of resistive component. It is possible to measure the resistance of any resistive component via multimeter only if we touch both the probes of multimeter with two sides of the resistive component so as to measure the resistance accurately without any error. 4. What does this tells us about the nature of resistance, and how it is measured? (Base your answer in #3)

3. What happens when you only touch one probe to the resistor / resistive component?
If we touch only one probe to the resistor / resistive component then multimeter will not
be able to measure the resistance of resistor / resistive component. It happened so
because touching only one probe of multimeter with the resistor doesn't make the circuit
complete. Without any completion of the circuit, it is impossible to measure the
resistance of resistive component.
It is possible to measure the resistance of any resistive component via multimeter only if
we touch both the probes of multimeter with two sides of the resistive component so as
to measure the resistance accurately without any error.
