To what scale should the ammeter be set in order to read a current of 2000ma?
2000ma is equal to 2 amps. Set you meter to a current range ABOVE 2 amps.
What is a DC ammeter and how does a DC ammeter work?
An ammeter is an instrument designed to measure electric current, which is expressed in amperes. A d.c. ammeter is one that will measure direct current (d.c.), as opposed to alternating current (a.c.). Ammeters are rarely used outside laboratories. Instead, multimeters are more commonly-used, and these will measure d.c. or a.c current and voltage, together with resistance. In other words, a multimeter functions as an ammeter, a voltmeter, and an ohmmeter. The principle of operation of a digital ammeter is too complicated to explain in this forum. An analogue ammeter works by a rotating coil to which is attached a pointer. The coil is balanced between two hairsprings and located between opposite faces of a permanent magnet. When current passes through the coil, the resulting magnetic field reacts with the permanent magnetic field, causing the coil to rotate, tightening the hairsprings. When the torque due to the current matches the opposing torque due to the hairsprings, the coil will stop turning. The position of the pointer on a scale will then indicate the current passing through the ammeter.
If you want to measure a current greater than the full scale deflection of the constructed ammeter in this case should the resistance in parallel with the galvanometer be increased or decreased?
A: the resistance should be decreased to 1/2 its value for half scale reading or use any ratio [ decrease] to obtain a correct reading.
What is the maximum current that you can measure by multimeter?
A ammeter (not 'current meter') will read currents up to the maximum value indicated on its scale (analogue instruments) or its range setting switch (digital instruments).
How do you connect a shunt resistor to a DC circuit to measure current?
To measure the current in a DC circuit an ammeter may be used. This ammeter may consist of a sensitive meter with a shunt in parallel with it to divert part of the current. In case even more current is expected than the full scale reading of the meter an additional shunt may be connected in parallel with that arrangement.
What is the least count of an ammeter?
The least count of an ammeter is the smallest value of current that can be measured by the instrument. It is typically determined by the scale divisions marked on the device and is an important factor in accurately reading and interpreting the measured current values.
What is ammeter sensitivity?
Ammeter sensitivity can be determined by a change of scale for the ammeter which would introduce higher or lower resistance values depending on the reading required. A higher sensitivity for lower values of ampacity would require higher resistance in the measuring circuitry. Use Ohm's law to verify.
What is the least count of ammeter?
The least count of an ammeter refers to the smallest change in current that can be measured by the device. It is typically determined by the scale divisions on the display of the ammeter. For example, if an ammeter has a least count of 0.1 A, it means that it can detect changes in current as small as 0.1 ampere.
What is the value of the smallest division on an ammeter scale?

What is the scale division of ammeter?
The scale division of an ammeter refers to the value each division represents on the scale of the meter. It is typically chosen based on the range and precision of the measurement required. For example, if an ammeter has a scale division of 0.1 A, each division on the scale represents 0.1 ampere.
How is a voltmeter visually different from an ammeter?
They can both be the same superficial size and have the same visual appearance as a "meter" but a voltmeter has its scale marked out in volts and an ammeter has its scale marked out in amps.
What is the value of the smallest division on the scale?

What is percentage limiting error?
A 0-10A ammeter has a guaranteed accuracy of 1.5% of full scale reading.The current measured by the instrument is 2.5A.Calculate the limitting values of current and the percentage limitting error.
What scale measures both the acidity and alkalinity of a substance?
The pH scale measures both the acidity and alkalinity of a substance. It ranges from 0 to 14, with values less than 7 indicating acidity, values equal to 7 indicating neutrality, and values greater than 7 indicating alkalinity. The scale is logarithmic, meaning each whole number change represents a tenfold change in acidity or alkalinity.
What are the difference between successive values on a scale?
The difference between the successive values on a scale is an interval.
Which scale of temperatures does not have negative values?
Kelvin scale
What is a surveymaster?
A survey master is a device that measures moisture levels in building materials. It displays the moisture level values on a digital display with a scale of color-coded lights.
