Best Answer

First rectify the voltage signal then pass it through galvanometer. its reading will give the rms value, so multipy it with form factor to get amplitude of the signal. Form factor for sinusoidal half wave and full wave are 1.11 and 2.22 respectively. One should also take care of voltage drop accross the rectifier diodes in calculation.

Can you measure ac mains voltage with dc voltmeter or high dc voltage with ac meter?

You cant.


What value of voltage measure by DMM Vrms or Dc voltage?

Many can measure both - Vrms (AC) or DC voltage.


What dmv setting is used to measure power supply output voltage?

Dc V if you are measuring direct current. Ac V setting if measuring AC voltage. Recommend using a meter that's AUTO Ranging.


Methods of calculating Ripple voltage in supply without using oscilloscope?

Measure AC voltage with multimeter. It is easiest way to check how big ripple is. There is no way to 'calculate' value.


How do you measure voltage?

Voltage can be measured using the difference between the potentiel between two ends of wire or by using a volt-meter. You can easily measure volt by volt or multimeter but remember voltage always measure across the components but in parallel


What will the multimeter show if it is used to measure the voltage of the ac half wave rectified voltage?

rms value of voltage


Will dc voltmeter measure ac voltage?

Yes, if you provide a rectifier to convert the AC into DC. This is how early AC voltmeters worked. They rectified the AC into DC, and the DC voltmeter measured something related to the peak voltage. In order to calibrate, you then considered that RMS voltage is peak voltage divided by the square root of 2. The problem with that approach is that it only works for sinusoidal AC. If the AC is some other shape, such as square or triangular, then the calibration does not work correctly. Modern AC voltmeters measure true RMS using signal processing techniques. If you attempt to measure AC with a DC voltmeter without a rectifier, it may or may not work, depending on the design of the meter. An ordinary VOM style meter would read zero, because the average voltage of an AC waveform is zero.


What instrument used to measure alternating current?

A multimeter has the ability to measure both AC and DC current along with voltage and resistance.


How dc voltage changes into ac voltage?

yes it is possible.we can convert dc into ac using inverter.this inverter is diff than our home inverter or using commutator.


How do you use an analog multimeter to measure voltage?

Just set to AC or DC volts and probe the two points you wish to measure voltage across.


Is galvanometer used in ac circuits if not why?

firstly a galvanometer instrument measures very small amounts of current flow of a D,C, nature / type . an a.c. type circuit is likely to be of a high magnitude , such that it would render the instrument unusable and dangerous to the operator . also a galvanometer by design is known as a moving coil type meter , if an ac signal were to be connected to this, the rate of change of the ac signal voltage would be so fast / frequent that the user would be unaware that the signal is currently changing


What are the three main function of the multimeter?

A typical multimeter can measure: * AC & DC voltage (volt) * AC & DC current (amp) * resistance (ohm)
