Electronic – How to you measure low resistance accurately

resistance

I got resistors having 1Ω and 0.1Ω. They will be used for measuring current incident to MCU. But when I tested the resistance by using my DMM, the value was fluctuated a lot and it was never what it should be. How can you measure resistance around 0.1Ω accurately?

I attached + – probe of the multimeter together and then it showed 0.5Ω on the screen. Also resistance of my alligator cable varied with the position I attached the probes. Does it mean that multimeter is not a good choice to measure such low resistance?

I'm using Fluke 177 digital multimeter.

Best way to do this is the Volt and Ampere meter method: enter image description here
then you just need to apply a voltage V.
And then you can easily calculate the resistance, from the measured voltage and current.
