Electric Current - Current Measurement

Current Measurement

Current can be measured using an ammeter.

At the circuit level, there are various techniques that can be used to measure current:

  • Shunt resistors
  • Hall effect current sensor transducers
  • Transformers (however DC cannot be measured)
  • Magnetoresistive field sensors

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or measurement:

    “Gradually the village murmur subsided, and we seemed to be embarked on the placid current of our dreams, floating from past to future as silently as one awakes to fresh morning or evening thoughts.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “That’s the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
