What is the function of mirror in ammeter?
That's great I have learned something new
Can a multimeter be used as substitute of ammeter and voltmeter why?
yes it can read both ac and dc voltage and current .AnswerThe whole point of a multimeter is that it can perform the function of an ammeter, a voltmeter, and an ohmmeter!
How range of a ammeter is extended?
if we take resistance in parallel with ammeter then the range of ammeter will change.
What is the difference between ac ammeter and dc ammeter?
dc ammeter has three connecting pins while ac has four
Which has higher resistance an ammeter or micro ammeter?
Micro ammeter has higher resistance. use ohm's law.. Say the voltage applied is 1 V. then for the ammeter.. I=1A, V=1V R=1 ohm for the micro ammeter.. I=0.000001, V=1V R=1000000 ohms
How is adding a ammeter to a circuit different from adding a light bulb?
When you add a light bulb, you are adding a load, which performs a function - in this case, it converts electrical energy to light and heat energy. When you add an ammeter, most of the time you intend to measure the current in the circuit, which is the function of the ammeter. Thus the two electrical components differ in their function and does different things when added to a circuit.
What must an ammeter be connected to?
To a very small resistance so a mv can be measured as a function of amperes.

What are the function of ammeter?
The purpose of an ammeter is to sense and display the magnitude of the current flowing through it. When connected in series with a branch of an electrical circuit, the meter displays the magnitude (and direction) of the current in that path ... which you can't otherwise tell just by looking at the circuit.

What is the function of Bypass diode in the test terminals of a pressure transmitter?
The function of the bypass diode is to allow the loop current to be measured without disconnecting the current loop connections. It therefore allows for a quick measurement of the loop current without disturbing any control or monitoring equipment that is connected to it. This is achieved by simply connecting an ammeter across the diode. If the voltage drop across the ammeter is less than that of the diode (about 0.6V) then all of the loop current will flow through the ammeter rather than the diode. The ammeter is therefore able to measure the loop current.
What is a ammeter on Mars?
An Ammeter and a brick is a brick.
What are the parts of an ammeter?
ammeter real picture
How do you check a dc ammeter?
a dc ammeter is a ammeter which has three pins and it works by two wires.
What is the function of micro-ammeter?
A microampere is simply one millionth (1x10-6) of an ampere.
How is an ammeter converted to a voltmeter?
The ammeter is used in series, because you want to measure the current through a circuit. The voltmeter is used in parallel, because you want to measure the voltage across a circuit. If you were to place the voltmeter in series, no current would flow because of the relatively high impedance of the voltmeter. If you were to place the ammeter in parallel, you would create a short-circuit, due to the relatively low impedance of the ammeter.
