you can measure ac using a cathode ray oscilloscope. it will project a sinusodial waveform, showing that the current is in the positive direction in the first half and the opposite direction in the second half

What is the difference between ac Hall effect and dc Hall effect?

The AC Hall effect is used to measure the sign and magnitude of an alternating magnetic field, whereas the DC Hall effect is used to measure the sign and magnitude of a steady magnetic field. In AC Hall effect, the magnetic field changes direction periodically, while in DC Hall effect, the magnetic field is constant.


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


Is Electrostatic instruments measure ac and dc?

A DC voltmeter can read an electrostatic field's potential since it can measure a non-changing voltage. However, a electrostatic charge is by definition non-moving. When it does move, it becomes a direct current.


Does dc have hertz?

No.


Is 50 Hz the same as 50W?

No, 50 Hz refers to the frequency of alternating current (AC) electricity, measured in Hertz. Whereas 50W refers to power consumption, measured in watts, which is the rate at which energy is consumed. They are different units used to measure different aspects of electricity.

What is the measure of arc AC?

It depends on where arc AC is.


How to measure a window for an AC unit?

To measure a window for an AC unit, first measure the width and height of the window opening. Then, ensure there is enough space on either side of the window for the AC unit to fit. Finally, consider the window type and installation requirements of the AC unit to ensure a proper fit.

If minor arc ac 96 what is the measure of abc?

If the measure of minor arc AC is 96 degrees, then the measure of angle ABC, which is inscribed in the circle and subtends arc AC, can be found using the inscribed angle theorem. This theorem states that the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc it subtends. Therefore, the measure of angle ABC is 96 degrees / 2 = 48 degrees.

How to measure AC voltage using a multimeter?

To measure AC voltage using a multimeter, set the dial to the AC voltage setting. Connect the black probe to the common terminal and the red probe to the voltage terminal. Place the probes across the circuit or component you want to measure. Read the voltage displayed on the multimeter screen.
