Without load there is no current so it is impossible to measure it.

Place a very small value resistor (e.g. 0.01Ω) in series with the branch where you want to measure the current and measure the voltage across the resistor. Compute current using ohm's law.

Without a load the secondary current is zero, by definition.


Can you use a train transformer to power a cb radio?

For any power supply application you hav eto measure the supply specifications with the load specifications. If the supply is AC the load should be designed to use AC and the same for DC to DC. The voltages should match up. The current that the load requires must be less than or equal to the current that can be provided by the supply. Lastly the wires connecting the supply to the load must be sized to carry the current required by the load.


Can you test the output amps of a DC generator with no load?

Any voltage source, whether a generator or a battery, will NOT supply an output current unless it is connected to a load. So the only way to test the output current is by connecting it to a load.

Does current produce voltage or does voltage produce current?

Current is regulated by the resistance of the load. That said without voltage no current will flow. Both are intertwined, without all the components you have nothing. Refresh your self with Ohm's law. E = I x R, I = E/R, and R = E/I. E = Voltage, I = Amperage, R = Ohms resistance.Visualize it like a triangle, without all three sides you have nothing. Current is produced by lines of flux cutting through a conductor. Voltage is a measure of the force or power of the current produced. ANSWER: VOLTS are just potential it can exist without current. The evidence of this potential is evident as soon as we try to measure it since current now have a path no matter how small or large. The load does not regulate the current flow but rather the potential does. If the potential disappear so does the current no matter what load there is.


How you can check load connected of transformer?

Measure the current and voltage on the secondary side.


How do you change current into voltage?

Compute the open load voltage of the current source across its shunt resistance.This voltage becomes the voltage source's voltage.Move the current source's shunt resistance to the voltage source's series resistance.Insert the new voltage source into the original circuit in place of the current source.


What reading would you get if a voltmeter is placed in series across a load in closed circuit?

In series and across the load are contradictory statements. Some voltmeters are really capable of voltage, current and resistance measurements. To measure current the meter either has to be a clamp on type or one that goes in series with the load. You measure voltage drop across the load as described above.


How is power caculated?

The power used up by any electrical load is . . .(voltage across the load) x (current through the load) or (voltage across the load)2/(resistance of the load) or (current through the load)2 x (resistance of the load). These are all completely equivalent, and you have your choice of which oneto use, depending on which numbers you know or can measure.
