Electrical current is measured with an "ammeter".
(The unit of current is "ampere". Measure it with an 'ampere-meter' ==> 'amp-meter' ==> 'ammeter'.)

Do you use a meter stick to measure length?
Yes, a meter stick can be used to measure length.
Which unit is used to measure atmospheric pressure?
Newtons / square meter. This unit has the special name Pascal.
What unit of measure is used to measure current?
Ampere is the unit used to measure the current.
What kind of a tool used to measure lengths that are about 1 meter long?
a ruler to measure cm and mm and meters
Which unit would you most likely use to measure the length of a shoe?
the units that are used to measure a foot are meters and inches.
What is the common use for a multimeter?
A multimeter is used to measure various properties of electricity. The "multi" refers to it multiple functions which can range from volt meter, current meter, resistance meter. The most common use would depend on the users preference to what is needed and measured most frequently.
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 is the name of the instrument that is used to measure walking distances?
its called mk meter!?
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 would be used if really low current was being measured?
To measure very low amperage a milli amp meter would be used or the milli amp scale on a multi meter.
What is the name of meter used to measure distance?
If you must give it a first name, it is sometimes called a 'linear' meter, but that is an unnecessary adjective. If not preceeded by 'square' or 'cubic', a meter is a linear measurement.
What instrument is used by technicians for measuring current voltage and resistance?
The instrument is called a multi-meter. Multi part meaning that the meter has distinct functions. One setting can measure voltage, another function can measure resistance and the third function can measure a limited amount of current.The reason the current is limited is because the meter has to be connected in series to the circuit that it is measuring. There will be a maximum rating on the instrument stating the maximum amount of current allowed. Many times this is a DC current and it is not to be used for measuring AC current.For higher current measurements a clamp on ammeter should be used.
What is used to measure the intensity of current flow in a circuit or branch in a circuit and is wired in series with the circuit being evaluated?
An Amp Meter
Do you use a meter stick to measure length?
Yes, a meter stick can be used to measure length.
What instrument measures voltage in a current?
Resistance is the name given to something which opposes the flow of an electrical current in a circuit and an ohmmeter is used to measure it.The Ohm is the name of the unit used to measure resistance.Further noteThe most common type of instrument used to measure resistance is a multimeter, which includes an ohmmeter, an ammeter to measure the current flow in amps and a voltmeter to measure the potential difference in volts.
Which unit is used to measure atmospheric pressure?
Newtons / square meter. This unit has the special name Pascal.
