i have some pencils here but i cant tell if they are #2.

i put my DMM on OHM's and put the lead on in between the positive and negative leads of the DMM. the DMM then reads 0.02......
is this about right or should a #2 pencil read ????


someone do that and tell me.

i mean thats my understanding of checking for ohms. turn the DMM to the ohm setting and test whatever your testing. i know when i touch the + and - keads of the DMM together WITHOUT the lead between them the reading was way way higher, so i figure the lead is offering resistance. and 0.02 Ohm of resistance.

am i correct on this ?

sorry electrical stuff has always been a weakness of mine.
