2. Classification of Resistance: Low resistance - Less than 1Ω
Resistance (R):
A property of a conductor by virtue of which the passage of current is opposed, causing electric energy to be transformed into heat: equal to the voltage across the conductor divided by the current flowing in the conductor
Unit of Resistance:
Measured in ohm
Symbol - Ω
Classification of Resistance:
Low resistance - Less than 1Ω
Medium resistance - 1Ω MΩ
High resistance - Greater than 0.1 MΩ

3. Methods of measurement of resistance
Low Resistance:
Kelvin Double bridge method
Medium Resistance:
Ammeter-Voltmeter method
Substitution method
Wheatstone bridge method
High Resistance:
Direct deflection method
Loss of charge method
Meggar

7. Classification of Inductance: Self Inductance Mutual Inductance
Inductance (L):
If a changing flux is linked with a coil of a conductor there would be an emf induced in it. The property of the coil of inducing emf due to the changing flux linked with it is known as inductance of the coil. Due to this property all electrical coil can be referred as inductor. In other way, an inductor can be defined as an energy storage device which stores energy in form of magnetic field.
Unit of Inductance:
Measured in henry
Symbol - H
Classification of Inductance:
Self Inductance
Mutual Inductance

8. Methods of measurement of Inductance
Self Inductance:
Maxwell's Inductance Bridge
Hay’s Bridge
Owen’s Bridge
Mutual Inductance:
Campbell’s Bridge
Heaviside Mutual Inductance Bridge

9. Methods of measurement of Capacitance: De Sauty’s Bridge
Capacitance (C):
Capacitance is the ability of a body to store an electric charge or The capability to hold an electric charge is known as capacitance or The capacitance, C, of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the magnitude of the charge on either conductor to the potential difference between the conductors C = Q/V
Unit of Capacitance:
Measured in farad
Symbol - F
Methods of measurement of Capacitance:
De Sauty’s Bridge
Schering Bridge
