Abstract
The potentiometric measurement result for a high resistance up to $100P{\Omega}$ using a low resistance, a low voltage source and a commercial digital multimeter(DMM) is presented. With the method, a resistance can be easily, fast and economically measured. Using the method, resistance ranges over the $10G{\Omega}$ range which is difficult to measure using a commercial DMM and resistance ranges between $100T{\Omega}$ and $100P{\Omega}$ which cannot measure using an insulation tester were measured within accuracy of a few percent. It is expected that it can be useful to determine the temperature and voltage effect of a high resistance and an insulation material because it uses a reference resistance with a low resistance, very low temperature and voltage effect. Besides, it is expected that it can be useful to calibrate a dc high voltage divider with a large resistance ratio and a very low resistance because arbitrary resistance ratio measurements are possible with it.
