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 else can I help you with?
Is an ammeter a device specially designed to measure current?
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit.
Which instrument do you use to measure the flow of current in a circuit?
To measure current you will need an ammeter.
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.
Do you measure amps on 220 volt electric motor by measuring one line or both and combining total of the two?
In a single phase 220 volt electric motor just measure one line. That already represents your line current. That line current is equal to your total current circulating in your motor.
How tall are the power lines in Ontario?
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A), hence the name
What is used to measure ampere?
to measure electric current.
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.
Name the instrument used to measure electric current?
A magnetic compass can detect current, butyou'll need an Ammeter to measure it.A galvanometer can detect current ~ butyou'll need an Ammeter to measure it.
A coulomb is measure of whereas an ampere is a measure of?
Electric charge / current.
The unit of current?
you can measure the unit of a current in amps (A) we measure the current using a ammeter
How can you tell electric current current is flowing in the circuit?
You can measure current - or the lack of current - with an ammeter.
Volt ohm ampere and watts are terms associated with what?
ohm is used to measure resistance of electric current. Ampere is used to measure electric current. volt is used to measure voltage.
What volts ohm ampere and watts are terms associated with this?
ohm is used to measure resistance of electric current. Ampere is used to measure electric current. volt is used to measure voltage.
What is the function of galvanometer?
To measure electric current intensity.
What is the unit you measure electric current?
Ampere, denoted by 'A'
What is the unit of measure of current electricity?
The SI unit of electric current is the Ampere.
