How do you connect volt meter in battery charger?

To measure voltage be in parallel with the battery. Series would measure current. Parallel measures potential.


What does an ammeter measure?

amps 'an electrical measure of current.'An ammeter is an instrument used to measure current (amperes), you dont measure ammeters!YEAH


When a volumetr is connected in series with a battery what does it measure the ability to?

Measures the amperage of the current .Your battery is in series with your car amp meter .


Is a battery a kilowatt?

A battery stores charge and supplies voltage and current. A kilowatt (KW) is a measure of power = Volts x Amps.


How do you know how much amp you have in your battery?

this problem can be fixed by refferring to mannual of that battery and also can calculated by another way use a load 10 watt on your battery and measure the current flowing through it and note the current time after that when your battery discharge multiply the measured current from hour(during discharge period). this result is your amp-h rating of battery.


Why can't you use a multitester as an ohmmeter if it has no battery?

The battery is used by the meter to apply a voltage across the resistance being measured and determine the current which determines the resistance. If there is no battery it can't supply the voltage and can't measure current, so no reading.


In a circuit with a 6 V battery hooked up to a 3 Ohm light bulb what does the current measure?

2 amperes (current = voltage/resistance)


How do you draw 18V current from 24V d.c battery?

You are confusing terms. Current is measured in amps or some fraction thereof. If you have a 24 volt battery (All batteries are DC) you need to connect a load to the battery and then measure the current that flows in the circuit. The current is measured in amps, milliamps or perhaps microamps for a very high resistance load.


Does your car battery have 12 volts 6 amps?

12 V - probably, although ther are exceptions. 6 Amps - ?? 6 Ams would be a measure of a current draw, and a battery is a current source. A car battery might have a capacity of 60 amp hours or thereabouts.


How do you increase current in a battery?

we can increase the current in battery by using current amplifiers or chopper's s the easy way to increase the current in battery........


How is it possible to have a high current with a low voltage such as in a car battery if current equals Voltage divided by Reistance then shouldn't a low voltage produce a low current?

It's all relative. A battery has internal resistance. Batteries are not "ideal" voltage sources. If there is a "heavy" load on the battery (low resistance), the voltage you measure on the outside of the battery will be lower. A car battery is normally thought of as a 12 volt battery. When there is no load (disconnected) you can often measure in excess of 13 volts if it's fully charged. During normal cranking of the engine, the voltage can drop below 11 volts.


How is it possible to measure negative current?

The term, 'negative current' simply refers to the sense or direction of a current compared with an assumed, standard, direction. For example, in the case of a battery, we normally assume that current leaves its positive terminal and enters its negative terminal (assuming conventional flow), and this is considered its 'positive direction'. However, if that battery were to be connected to a battery charger, the actual current would flow in the opposite sense to the assumed current direction and, so, it would be considered to be a 'negative' current.So, the simple answer is, yes, we can measure a 'negative current' by using an ammeter. In the case of d.c., it may be necessary to reverse the connections to that ammeter to ensure that it reads upscale.
