How do you measure the cast of a gun stock?
tape measure?
What instrument measures electromagnetic force?
It depends on what kind of reading you want. An electrician will usually carry around a multimeter which can measure voltage, current, and resistance. Another piece of equipment that can "determine the presence of electric charge" would be a Electromagnetic Field (EMF) detector, since all electrical appliances/wires produce an electromagnetic field. There could be others, but those are the two I'm aware of.
Why do we measure angles in degrees?
Because an angle is a degree. It would be pretty silly to measure them in, say, horsepower, no?
How would you measure the size of a computer screen?
The same way you measure a TV screen, diagonally (any corner to opposite corner).
What does a water vane measure?
direction of flow
To measure EMF you would use a(n)?
"voltmeter"
How do you determine the emf and internal resistance of a cell?
You can measure the emf of a cell by using a voltmeter, as this draws current from a cell. You can use the voltage, the emf, and the load resistance to determine the internal resistance of the cell.
How do you connect a voltmeter to a battery?
To measure the total emf simply connect the battery and voltmeter with the right terminals , but to measure the terminal potential difference which is less than the emf the voltmeter is connected in parallel with the battery
Volts are a mesurement of what characteristic of electricity?
Volts are the measure of Eletro motive force. (EMF)
Why cant you use voltmeter 2 calculate emf of a cell?
because voltmeter is used to measure the voltage
Can you measure the emf of a cell with a voltmeter?
you can, but you will not get accurate answer as voltmeter consumes some current. so, potentiometer is used instead to measure emf ---- the potentiometer must be set to the expected emf from the cell before you put the zero detector in circuit if its set too high it will charge the cell too low it will load the cell perhaps if you dont know the voltage of the cell before you measure it you should get a hi impedance voltmeter(electrometer) to set the potentiometer as close as you can manage before you connect the zero detector
What force does emf measure?
EMF stands for "electromotive force" and is (more or less) a synonym for voltage. Despite the name, it's not really a "force" in the physical sense (EMF is measured in, unsurprisingly, volts, while forces are measured in newtons), and is more properly referred to as a potential. See the related link for more details.
Why do you measure emf with a potentiometer not with voltmeter?
EMF (E''electromotive Force'') is another term for Volts, hence the E in electronic formulas and EMF is measured with a volt meter. A potentiometer is not a meter at all, it is a variable resistor
What can a multimeter measure?
EMF (Volts) Resistance (Ohms), and most of the time, Current (Amperes, or more likely, mili Amperes)
How are emf measured?
emf in volts
Why emf of battery driving potentiometer is greater than emf of the cell to be measured?
Bcoz the emf which is to be measured is less than emf of driving cell....
Does motional emf call induced emf?
yes indused emf is also called motional emf. If an open coil is subjected to a variable magnetic field, at the ends of the coil a potential difference is induced which is called induced emf. If a coil is connected to an emf source and switched on, the rising current will produced an variable magnetic field which in turn produces an emf. It is called back emf.
