How do you convert a galvanometer to an ammeter?
A galvanometer is an instrument used to measure and detect electric currents. While that seems a lot similar to an ammeter, it only deals with measuring relatively small or mediocre currents. Although an ammeter is now much preferred due to its more accurate, faster, and advanced readings, there is a way to "convert" a galvanometer to function like an ammeter. A current separator or divider, known as a shunt, allows a simple meter to be calibrated (adjusted) to measure larger currents. The shunt, parallel to the coil of your galvanometer, allows more electric currents to circulate around the circuit, thus obtaining more current.
What is the principle of galvanometer?
Galvometer works on the principle of conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. It is an instrument used to indicate the presence, direction or strength of a small electric current.
What is used to turn the pointer of a galvanometer?
A small current passes through the coil that actuates the pointer. When you select different ranges on the instrument you are in fact selecting different resistors so that the sensitivity of the pointer is changed.
What is a eletroscope?
An electroscope is an early scientific instrument. It is used to detect and measure electricity or an electric charge on a body.
What a switch does in an electricial circut?
A switch is normally used to open or close an electric circuit, but it can also be used to change the flow from one circuit to another.
What is the metric unit used to measure electric currents?
an electric current is from a thunder storm, and by that i mean the capacity is the fact that ellie woody is a poo face
How tall are the power lines in Ontario?
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A), hence the name
What instrument measures small currents?
A galvanometer is used to measure small currents.
Flow meters are not used to measure bottom currents why?
Bottom currents move too slow.
What is used to measure ampere?
to measure electric current.
What volts ohm ampere and watts are terms associated with this?
ohm is used to measure resistance of electric current. Ampere is used to measure electric current. volt is used to measure voltage.
Volt ohm ampere and watts are terms associated with what?
ohm is used to measure resistance of electric current. Ampere is used to measure electric current. volt is used to measure voltage.
Is a compass used to measure angles?
Not normally. A protractor is generally used to measure angles.
What are ohms used for?
Ohms are used to measure electric resistance.
The unit used to measure electrical power is the?
The Watt is the unit used to measure electric power :)

Do iPhones have an electromagnet?
Yes, they do. They are used to convert electric currents into sounds. See the related link.
