What is the instrument called that measures current?

The instrument used to measure electrical current is called an ammeter, which is actually a shortened form of 'amp meter'. The current is measured in amperes. In scientific labs, a much more sensitive instrument called a galvanometer is used to measure very small currents.


How micro ohm meter work in detail?

A current is passed through a resistor and the voltage drop is measured on the other side. It follows Ohm's law by a given current and voltage you can measure the resistance of a resistor by V=IR.


60 ohm and 40 ohm and 20 ohm resistors are all 3 connected in series across a 120VAC source what is the total voltage across 40 ohms resistance?

Total resistance is 120 ohms. The 120VAC will be split evenly over this 120 ohm load, so every ohm of resistance gets a volt. So there will be a 40 volt drop across the 40 ohm resistor.


What are the advantages of volt ohm meter?

If there is a meter that shows volt and ohms then it is showing you the amount of voltage and resistance there is. However these meters are two separate devices with different uses.AnswerA 'volt ohmmeter' ('VOM') is a term used in North America to describe what is known, elsewhere, as a 'multimeter'. A multimeter combines the functions of a.c. and d.c. voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter. The advantage of a multimeter is that it avoids the necessity of having to carry about six separate measuring instruments.

When a voltmeter is connected to a resistor what will it read?

If you place an OHM meter across a resistor, it will read resistance. An OHM meter set to read voltage will read any voltage present. So, if you pick up a resistor, connect it to a volt meter, in theory, no voltage will be present. Unless you're feeding some sort of electricity through it. I'm certainly not an electrical engineer, I do however use a volt/ohm meter occasionally. A volt/ohm meter is a dual/multi purpose piece of equipment.
