What quantity is hertz used to measure?

Answer 1

One would measure hertz by using an analog ammeter. Hertz can be measure in kilohertz. Hertz is the unit used to measure frequency. Any instrument that measures frequency can be used to measure hertz. 1 hertz is 1 cycle per second. By radio frequency.

Answer 2

Hertz can be measured using a frequency counter, multimeter, or oscilloscope. Some multimeters have basic frequency counters that only work for electrical signals. To measure radio frequency, a proper frequency counter or oscilloscope with RF inputs is required.

Weak radio signals usually need some amplification and filtering to be measured. This requires the signal to be passed through additional devices before reaching the counter. To measure the frequency of mechanical vibrations, a transducer is required to convert them into electrical signals.

Answer 3

This unit was named after a person, so it is capitalized: Hertz.

A Hertz is a unit of one cycle per second in an electric circuit.

Outside of an electric circuit, the correct unit is CPS, or cycles per second.
