What are electric measurements?

Electrical measurements are measurements that measure the voltage, current and power and resistance in the electrical circuit. Also included are those that measure the electrical properties of the circuit itself and the materials or components containing it. In addition, electrical measurement of electromagnetic field measurements surrounding the conductor bearing electric current. All types of electrical measurements include methods, equipment and calculations specific to measurements. Ammeter measures the current in the amps, the voltmeter measures voltage in volts and the ohmmeter measures the ohm resistance. The electrical force of the perimeter in watts, which is the product of its voltage and current, can be calculated as soon as the two quantities are set, or if the resistance and one of the quantities are known, by using Ohm's law. The functions, voltmeter and ohmmeter are combined in a device known as a multimeter. It has a switch on the front that allows the user to select the meter function and the sensitivity of the measurement.

The electric field around the conductor can affect other wires in its vicinity and electrical measurements of its characteristics can often be derived from the effect it has on these conductors. If the electrical current in the conductor changes or is in the flow, it generates a magnetic field capable of inductioning the current in any other wire in the field. The magnetic field around the conductor with a changing electric current, such as one that carries an alternating current in the constant stream state, can be measured by the hall sensor. On the other hand, the stationary current generates an electrostatic field that can be determined by an electrometer that measures an induced field in two similar wires.

Electrical circuits and their components have properties that affect the capacity of the circuit to make current and generate magnetic fields. Electric measurements of these characteristics are often determined by calculations based on measurable amounts of circuit, such as voltage, current and resistance. For example, the capacity of an electrical device designed to hold a charge such as a batteryE determined from the measurement of electricity and time for charging. The inductance, the ability of the circuit to generate voltage when immersing in the magnetic field can be derived by measuring the force of the field with a hall sensor and the amount of current generated in the ammer circuit.
