ZweiElektrodenVoltmohmmetern

ZweiElektrodenVoltmohmmetern, often abbreviated as 2EVM, refers to a type of electrical measuring instrument that utilizes two electrodes to determine voltage and resistance. These devices are commonly employed in various fields, including electrical engineering, materials science, and environmental monitoring, where the measurement of electrical properties of a sample or environment is crucial. The "ZweiElektroden" (German for two-electrode) design is a fundamental configuration for such measurements.

In operation, the two electrodes are typically placed in direct contact with the material or medium being tested. A known voltage is applied across these electrodes, and the resulting current is measured. This current, in conjunction with the applied voltage, allows for the calculation of the resistance using Ohm's Law (R = V/I). Conversely, if a known current is passed through the sample, the voltage drop across the electrodes can be measured to determine resistance. The instrument then displays the calculated resistance value.

The simplicity of the two-electrode system makes it a cost-effective and straightforward solution for many applications. However, it is important to note that the measured resistance can be influenced by contact resistance between the electrodes and the sample, as well as the distribution of current within the sample. For more precise measurements, particularly in situations where these factors are significant, four-electrode methods may be preferred. Despite this limitation, ZweiElektrodenVoltmohmmetern remain valuable tools for routine analysis and quick assessments of electrical properties.
