To measure amperage output to see if an alternator is charging or not .
Ammeter
An ammeter measures the electrical current in something. A digital one is calibrated to display through the shunt and convert information from the analog model.
ammeter is a measurement tool used to calculate the current flow in electric and electronic circuits
A magnetic compass can detect current, butyou'll need an Ammeter to measure it.A galvanometer can detect current ~ butyou'll need an Ammeter to measure it.
It is a potentiometer.
Ammeter
mi stands for moving iron in ammeter used only in alternating current circuits
It measures the current.
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit.
An ammeter.
If an ammeter is placed in parallel with a a load on a circuit, the circuit can short out as the ammeter takes the place of the load, flowing freely through the meter. Never measure across a resister or other electronic load with an ammeter. Remember, ammeters are used in series while voltmeters are used in parallel.
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.
