How do you measure the resistance in a parallel circuit?
You have to measure the voltage, and the current. The resistance is then calculated by using Ohm's Law.
How do you measure current without connecting the load?
Without load there is no current so it is impossible to measure it.
How do you measure alternating current voltage and resistance?
You measure current by inserting an amp meter in series with the circuit or using a clamp-on meter to measure current by induction. You measure voltage with a volt meter across the supply. You measure resistance in ohms across the resistance. Luckily all these functions are in the same meter in most cases.
Why should you never measure resistance in a circuit carrying a current?
Ideally true, but seldom so. The vast majority of resistance meters use current to measure resistance and just use V=IR to give R - the resistor is in a circuit carrying current. The only method that does not have a current through the resistance, it actually relies on the fact, is a Wheatstone bridge. The most important reason for not having a current is that you will be using a current in most cases, to meaure the resistance. Current from another source will screw the reading. Also, with a current flowing, you are not measuring resistance - you are measuring impedance - a combination of inductance and resistance.
How do you measure the circulating current in 3 phase parallel system?
The clamp on amp meter has to go around both of the parallel conductors to get an accurate reading of the line current. If you are using a current transformer, both wires have to go through the centre hole in the transformer.
Do You measure current across a circuit?
A current flows through, not across, a circuit. And, yes, you can measure it using an ammeter.
How can you measure resistance by using resistance thermometer?
You use an ohmeter. It sends current through the wire to determine value.
Why there was a current in the cable gland grounding point in which you are using one side insulated gland and the other side is normal gland with grounding in the gland?
Due to the induced voltage in the cable gland by the current flowing through the conductors enclosed by the armour.
Why current cannot be measured directly using an oscilloscope?
A standard oscilloscope is designed to measure voltage, you need a current probe for your oscilloscope to measure current.
What is the equipment used to measure an electrical current?
Electrical current is measured using an ammeter.
What is a clamp meter?
It is a multimeter with a clamp on facility to measure current using it as a current transformer.
How many pairs are used on a straight through cable?
When using a straight through cable for networking, only 3 pairs are used.
The unit of current?
you can measure the unit of a current in amps (A) we measure the current using a ammeter
How do you measure the resistance in a parallel circuit?

How do you measure current without connecting the load?
Without load there is no current so it is impossible to measure it.
How to measure current?
Current in a circuit can be measured by using a device called ammeter that is always connected in series in the circuit in which current is to be measured.
How do you measure the current by using multimeter?
The current is the amperage. It is measured in series. Voltage is measured across the line (parallel).
