These are usually small circular gauges with a clip on the back.
When clipped onto an electric cable, usually from the dynamo or alternator, it shows the amperage being charged out. It is a quick and reliable unit to see if a dynamo etc is working properly.
As a mechanic I used one many times and found them to be invaluable.
I have absolutely no idea how they work. It's either magic or magnetism caused by the charged electricity.

A clip-on ammeter is a type of ammeter that can measure electrical current in a conductor without the need to physically disconnect the circuit. These devices use a magnetic clamp that attaches around the conductor to measure the current flowing through it. Clip-on ammeters are convenient for troubleshooting and evaluating electrical systems in a non-invasive manner.
