DIFFERENCE AMPLIFIER:
To measure this current with pic microcontroller,we have to use ADC module of PIC microcontroller.To use ADC module we will convert current into voltage form by using a .1 ohm shunt resistor across CT and we will measure this voltage drop across shunt resistor.Then this voltage drop can be easily converted into current again.For example
voltage drop across .1 ohm shunt resistor =8v
then current according to ohm law
V=IR
I=V/R
I=8/.1=8A
but the problem is ADC of pic microcontroller can never measure voltage greater than 5 volt. so to solve this problem we can use differenceamplifier. By adjusting gain of difference amplifier we can reduce voltage lower than 5 volts.
You can block AC current by using a filter with a pass-band that is outside the frequency of the AC current.
This is because when you introduce a capacitor, the circuit is no longer a DC circuit. If you're using a multimeter see if there is an AC setting to measure the current.
No, you cannot accurately measure the output voltage of an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) using a DC meter, as the AVR typically regulates AC voltage for the generator. A DC meter is designed for measuring direct current voltage, while the voltage output from a generator is usually alternating current (AC). To measure the AC voltage effectively, you would need an AC voltmeter or a multimeter set to the AC voltage setting.
A: A multimeter is an instrument design to measure ohms volts and amps. So to measure amps a shunt is provided to allow a sample of the current to be measured as a function of voltage.
Current filtering
you can measure ac using a cathode ray oscilloscope. it will project a sinusodial waveform, showing that the current is in the positive direction in the first half and the opposite direction in the second half
You can block AC current by using a filter with a pass-band that is outside the frequency of the AC current.
With Alternating Current (AC) voltage may be increased by using a transformer with a primary coil that has fewer turns than its secondary coil.With Direct Current (DC) an inverter is required which takes a DC signal at one voltage and uses a microcontroller to chop the signal into AC generally in the form of a square wave. The AC is then used to step-up to the voltage needed and then rectified back to DC again. This is also known as a Switch Mode Power Supply, since the DC is made into AC by means of the "switching" done by the microcontroller.
I think you mean 'alternating' current ('alternative' means choice). The ammeter must be inserted in series with the load, just as with direct current.
This is because when you introduce a capacitor, the circuit is no longer a DC circuit. If you're using a multimeter see if there is an AC setting to measure the current.
AC (alternating current) can be measured using an AC voltmeter or an oscilloscope, which can display the voltage waveform and frequency. A clamp meter can also be used to measure the current without breaking the circuit. Additionally, a multimeter set to the AC measurement mode can provide readings of voltage and current in AC circuits. It's important to ensure that the measuring device is rated for the specific voltage and current levels in your application.

A multimeter has the ability to measure both AC and DC current along with voltage and resistance.
ammeter
No. Batteries can only produce dc current which can further be converted to AC using inverters.
AC current can be transmitted with less loss
A typical multimeter can measure: * AC & DC voltage (volt) * AC & DC current (amp) * resistance (ohm)
