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:

    “A man is a little thing whilst he works by and for himself, but, when he gives voice to the rules of love and justice, is godlike, his word is current in all countries; and all men, though his enemies are made his friends and obey it as their own.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “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)
