-- frequency counter
We can't "measure electricity" unless we figure out what we are measuring. The difference of electrical potential is measured in units called volts, and a voltmeter is used to do that. The amount of electrical current flow is measured in units called amps (amperes), and an ammeter is used to for that purpose. A multimeter combines the functions of these two meters, and will most often include some other features to measure some other electrical characteristics. An example of another measuring function of a multimeter might be its use as an ohmmeter for measuring electrical resistance.

What instrument uses electricity to measure sound waves?
oscilloscope
Which instrument uses electricity to measure sounds waves?
oscilloscope
What is the difference between amps and volt-amps?
Amps is a measure of current flowing in a circuit. Volt-Amps or (VA) is a measure of power and is equivalent to wattage for a pure resistive load.

What Instrument measures electricity usage?
To measure electricity you use a multimeter to display voltage, resistance, amperage, etc. But to measure the rate at which you use electricity, I would recommend a Kill-A-Watt device, which tells you how much electricity appliances in your home are using, among other useful information.AnswerWhen you say 'electricity usage', you presumably mean 'energy consumption'? If this is the case, then you measure energy consumption using an energy meter which expresses energy consumption in kilowatt hours.
What instrument is hooked to galvanometers?
Your question is confused. A galvanometer is an instrument, it is not hooked to an instrument. It is hooked to an electrical circuit of some kind, to measure how much electricity is flowing.
Which instrument would be used to measure current flowing in a circuit?
"ammeter"
What are the advantages of a moving iron ammeter?
The advantages of a moving iron ammeter is that it can accurate measure the amount of electricity which is flowing. This makes it well suited for both monitoring and controlling the amount of electricity in a circuit.
What do ammeters do?
Ammeters measure the current flowing through a circuit
What is A measure of the number of electrons flowing through a circuit?
Amperage.
Is an ammeter a device specially designed to measure current?
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit.
Does an ammeter measure current?
An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing through an electrical circuit. It measures amperage.
What is use to measure the current flowing in an electrical circuit?
