How to measure current?
Current in a circuit can be measured by using a device called ammeter that is always connected in series in the circuit in which current is to be measured.
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 the instrument used for electrical current?
An Ammeter is used to measure electrical current, which is measured in Amperes (or Amps).
What are the direct current instruments and measurements?
D.c GeneratorComputers=======================DC voltage is measured with a voltmeter.DC current is measured with an ammeter.That's all there is to measure in a DC circuit.
Realation of current with power and time?
There is no direct relation of electric current and power. In order to knowhow much power (or energy) the current gives up, you must know what thecurrent is flowing through.The easiest way to describe anything through which the current is flowing isto measure and state its electrical resistance.Once you know the resistance through which the current is flowing . . .Power delivered by the current = (magnitude of the current, amperes)2 x (resistance of the path, ohms)The power is delivered continuously. Its unit is watts.Each watt of power means 1 joule of energy every second.
What do ammeters do?
Ammeters measure the current flowing through a circuit
How can you tell electric current current is flowing in the circuit?
You can measure current - or the lack of current - with an ammeter.
Which instrument do you use to measure the flow of current in a circuit?
To measure current you will need an ammeter.
What is use to measure the current flowing in an electrical circuit?

What is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?
It measures the current.
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 instrument is hooked to galvanometers?
Your question is confused. A galvanometer is an instrument, it is not hooked to an instrument. It is hooked to an electrical circuit of some kind, to measure how much electricity is flowing.
Why does not it matter where you measure the current in a simple circuit?
The current measured at any point in a simple circuit will be the same because current is the measure of electron flow through a circuit. The current flowing through any branch of any circuit (or an entire simple circuit) will always be the same at any point.
How do you know when electric current is flowing in a light bulb circuit?
You know if current is flowing in a bulb circuit because, if there is enough power (voltage times current), the bulb will illuminate. If there is current, but not enough power to illuminate the bulb, you will need to measure the current with an ammeter to see if there is any current.
How current transformer measure current?
A current transformer doesn't 'measure current'. It merely reduces a large current flowing through its primary to a smaller current which can be read by an ammeter connected to its secondary. At the same time, it electrically isolates the secondary circuit from the primary circuit, which is essential if the primary circuit is part of a high-voltage system.
What does a Clamp-on ammeter measure?
An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing through an electrical circuit. It measures amperage.
An ammeter is used for what?
An ammeter is an instrument which is used for measurement of current flowing in any circuit
