How do you use a multimeter to measure the current in a lemon?
You will need to add an anode and cathode, such as a penny and a nickel. Then add a load resister and use an amp meter to measure current flow, which will change depending on resistance. Measuring the potential current would prove more difficult.
What is the difference between power transformer and instrument transformer?
A power transformer is used to provide power (to your home, for example), an instrument transformer is used to measure voltage or current (for metering, for example).
What would you do to measure the current in a resistor?
Since the current in a resistor is the same as the current in the leads/wires on either side of the resister, I might use a clamp meter such as an Amprobe to measure current, if the current was alternating (AC). Otherwise, I would have to break one of the leads and insert an ammeter or a multimeter with an amp setting into the circuit. Afterwards the broken connection would have to be repaired.
What are the three main function of the multimeter?
A typical multimeter can measure: * AC & DC voltage (volt) * AC & DC current (amp) * resistance (ohm)
What is difference between 5 amp and 15 amp plug points?
Current carrying capacity is different.
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.
What is the instrument called that measures current?
The instrument used to measure electrical current is called an ammeter, which is actually a shortened form of 'amp meter'. The current is measured in amperes. In scientific labs, a much more sensitive instrument called a galvanometer is used to measure very small currents.
What Do Amps Measure?
You can measure the electrical current with an amp meter. Amperage measures the current flow.
Which instrument do you use to measure the flow of current in a circuit?
To measure current you will need an ammeter.
What unit of measure is used to measure current?
Ampere is the unit used to measure the current.
What is tool for measuring the intensity of electric current?
An amp meter can measure the intensity of electric current.
What is the name of the meter that is used to measure current?
Electrical current is measured with an "ammeter". (The unit of current is "ampere". Measure it with an 'ampere-meter' ==> 'amp-meter' ==> 'ammeter'.)
What is DC ammeter?
Instrument used to measure dc current
What instrument is used to measure electric current?
A galvanometer or milliammeter.
Why is the word amp used to measure current in science?
The abbreviation amp is short of ampere, which is a unit of measurement named after a scientist.
Which instrument would measure an electric current?
A voltmeter or a multi-meter.
Which instrument would be used to measure current flowing in a circuit?
"ammeter"
