It can be calculated by a multimeter. [aka. avometer (ampere voltage ohm meter)]. A single voltmeter or ammeter could not measure resistance because this process need calculations. That means the device must be able to measure the voltage and current at the same time.

Why helmholtz galvanometer cannotbe converted into ammeter?

The Helmholtz galvanometer cannot be converted into an ammeter primarily because it is designed to measure small currents through a deflection of a magnetic needle, which is not suitable for the high currents typically encountered in ammeter applications. Additionally, ammeters require a low resistance to avoid significant voltage drop across the meter, while a galvanometer has a high internal resistance that could lead to inaccurate readings or damage when used with high currents. Thus, the operating principles and design constraints of a galvanometer do not align with the requirements for ammeter functionality.


Why are transmission voltages in ac systems generally higher than those in dc systems?

The main advantage of using ac is that you can step up and step down the voltage by means of a transformer,since transformer works only with ac. another thing is that if dc power is used for transmission,then the power loss associated with t will demand the use of transmission lines which are very thick(have a larger cross section)..for long distance transmission this may lead to the requirement of power lines with impractical dimensions.


Can the internal resistance be negative?

No, internal resistance cannot be negative. In electrical systems, internal resistance represents the opposition to the flow of current within a device, such as a battery or capacitor, and is always a positive value. Negative resistance is a concept that can occur in certain non-linear devices, but it is not applicable to traditional internal resistance in passive components.


What does resistance in an electrical circuit mean?

i dont know really, thats why im asking right


How do you get tolerance of resistor?

That depends on how much resistance is called for through the engineering, there is tiny resistance (mf) microfared on up huge resistance seen on electrical poles. Your circuit engineering formula dictates the needed resistance or it will just burn or not flow at all, you cannot answer the question without first asking a question..How much resistance do you need. They can be produce for virtually any tolerance.

A: SURE it can while open it will measure the potential when closed it will measure the small voltage drop due to the resistance if any.


Is resistance an abstract noun?

Yes, "resistance" is an abstract noun. It refers to the concept or quality of opposing or withstanding something, such as force, change, or influence, rather than a tangible object. Abstract nouns denote ideas, conditions, or qualities that cannot be physically touched or measured.


Can a displacement current be measured with an ammeter expain?

Displacement current can not be measured by ammeter because it is the current which produce between the plate (space)due to change of electric flux and it is directly proportional to the rate of change of electric flux.

What is impedance in speakers and can it be measured in watts?

Impedance in electricity is described as an opposing force to electron flow. It consists of a combination of resistance, capacitance, and inductance. This forms the actual "resistance" to electron flow in a circuit versus "pure resistance"such as a resistor added in a circuit to slow electron flow. Impedance is more prevalent in AC circuits versus DC circuits as it reacts to AC current flow much more than DC current. Current flow in a speaker circuit is considered AC so impedance is more meaningful in a speaker setup. Impedance can be measured or calculated based upon current flow so it can be converted to watts using the formula Watts = amps times voltage.AnswerImpedance is the vector sum of resistance and reactance, and is measured in ohms. No, it cannot be measured in watts, which the unit for power.
