A clamp-on ammeter does not measure current by capacitance. It forms a current transformer that operates by inductance. The clamp-on part is the magnetic core of the transformer. There is another winding inside that is coupled by the core to the line that is being measured. This second winding is shorted and the device reads the current through that winding. The current is proportional to turns ratio.
What else can I help you with?
What is the importance of ammeter?
An ammeter measures current, an important variable in electronics.
Does an ammeter measure current?
An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing through an electrical circuit. It measures amperage.
What is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?
It measures the current.
An ammeter is used for what?
An ammeter is an instrument which is used for measurement of current flowing in any circuit
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.
