What is MI in ammeter MI?
mi stands for moving iron in ammeter used only in alternating current circuits
How range of a ammeter is extended?
if we take resistance in parallel with ammeter then the range of ammeter will change.
What is used to measure the current in a circuit and how is it connected?
To measure the current in the circuit an ammeter is used and it is connected in series
What is the difference between ac ammeter and dc ammeter?
dc ammeter has three connecting pins while ac has four
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!
Which of these is used to measure current in series circuits?
Ammeter
What is the importance of an ammeter?
ammeter is a measurement tool used to calculate the current flow in electric and electronic circuits
Name the instrument used to measure electric current?
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.
Which instrument used to calibrate ammeter?
It is a potentiometer.
What is the device used to measure currentt?
Ammeter
What is MI in ammeter MI?
mi stands for moving iron in ammeter used only in alternating current circuits
What is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?
It measures the current.
Is an ammeter a device specially designed to measure current?
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit.
What records the amount of current used by a circuit?
An ammeter.
What happen when a ammeter is placed in parallel with the circuit?
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.
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 a 10 wrap amperage multiplier used with?
clamp-on ammeter
