An ammeter, either shunt or inductive. A shunt is an inline resistor of a small, known resistance. Knowing the resistance and the voltage one can calculate the amperage by Ohms law, I=V/R. An inductive, or clamp on ammeter measures the magnetic field and using more complex calculations displays the current, typically on a digital display.

What do you measure with electric current?

Electric current is typically measured in amperes (A), which is the flow of electric charge through a specific point in a circuit over time. This measurement helps determine the amount of electricity being transferred and the rate at which it is flowing in a circuit.


Is electric current measured in volts?

No, electric current is actually measured in amperes (amps), not volts. Volts measure the difference in electric potential between two points, while amperes measure the flow rate of electric current.
