The lowest amperage range on the VOM should be used to measure milliamps. To get a very accurate reading a digital VOM should be used as an analogue VOM usually loads the line that it is reading.

Which current range on the Fluke 8025A do you select to measure 250 milliamps alternating current?

To measure 250 milliamps alternating current on the Fluke 8025A, you would typically select the 400mA AC current range. This range allows you to measure currents up to 400mA, which covers your required measurement of 250 milliamps.

What name does the name box display?

It will display either the current cell or a name of a named range if that range is selected. If the range selected is not named, then the name box show the cell reference of the active cell.


What is the normal milliamp current on an analog phone line?

The normal current when the telephone is off hook are about 25 milliampere. The current may vary in a wide range depending on the length ow the line, and what kind of equipment used. Less than 23 milliamps may cause the electronics to not operate properly, but it should usually work from 18 milliamps, old rotary phones may sometimes cope with even less. If the current exceeds 60 milliamps, it may ruin some telephones and modems, but they should cope with the double. Most equipment works best around 25 milliamps. If you have echo problems heard in both ends, the high current may be an indicator on the end who generates problems.


How many current produced in photocell?

The amount of current produced in a photocell depends on the intensity of light that hits the cell. Higher light intensity will generate more current, while lower light intensity will generate less current. The current produced is generally in the range of microamps to milliamps.

Measure battery current?

To measure battery current, you can use a multimeter set to measure current in series with the battery. Connect the multimeter in series between the battery and the load to measure the current flowing from the battery to the load. Make sure to select the appropriate current range on the multimeter to avoid damaging the instrument.


When a cell is selected what is it called?

It can be referred to as the current cell or the active cell or just the selected cell.


How to measure current?

To measure current, you would typically use a multimeter set to the appropriate current measurement range. First, ensure the circuit is off, then connect the multimeter in series with the part of the circuit you want to measure the current flowing through. Turn on the circuit to get a reading of the current flowing through that part of the circuit. Remember to set the multimeter to the correct range for the expected current to avoid damaging the meter.


An ammeter and voltage range are measure the current and voltage electric lamp if mistake meter interchange what will happen?

1. Voltmeter has high impedance and hence will restrict the current severely.a) Electric Bulb will not glowb) The Ammeter will just measure the current that Voltmeter allows and since this current is much smaller than actual current nothing will happen to ammeter.c) The Voltmeter will measure the Voltage that is being applied.d) This will allow you to measure the resistance of the Voltmeter.VR=V/I
