I was using the Agilent U1733C LCR meter and was wondering why meaning there is for the test frequency selection when doing resistance measurements. It affects the reading and I have no idea why you would use anything but DC to measure a resistance.
The meter has the ability to measure at different frequencies for L and C so why not R?
A resistor is not perfect. Depending on how it is made and what resistance it will not have the same reading at all frequencies.
Wire wound resistors are real bad, they have inductance. Spiral cut resistors also have some problems with inductance.
I think 10,000,000 resistors are not good at high frequencies.
You would thing that resistance or impedance at DC and 60hz will be the same for a resistor.
Win I was building 100mhz video amplifiers we used special non inductive power resistors.
In microwave amplifiers we had to look up the impedance for the resistors.

If it's a wire wound resistor, the skin effect may cause the real resistance to got up with frequency.
That is unrelated to any increase in reactance due to its inductance.
