A VOM resistance measurement uses the meter’s internal source (battery) of energy to push a voltage across an unknown path of resistance.
If the probes are shorted together the energy transfer from one probe to the other is at maximum value hence…resistance to flow is 0 as in 0 ohms. Anything above 0 ohms is resistance (ohms) & proportional to current flow between the probes . As current flow between the probes goes down resistance increases up to the thousands (Kilo..ohms ) and millions (Mega..ohms)
High voltage pin is the coil’s pointy pin to the plug wire. Some are just points (simple) some a screw points (better) and but either type must contact the metallic wire of the plug cable.
lots of utubes on the subject !!
btw that video is ok … when that Ohms needle goes right side on shorted probes the scale of ohms is actually inverted….the right side is 0 ohms
this is ok the same meter would go left when measuring voltages or current since the scale goes from right (0 volts or amps) o) to left max
confused… used a digital meter ! what you read.. is what you get as per the scale chosen
