what is a Galvanometer?

Galvanometer

Principles of a Galvanometer A galvanometer works because of a basic rule: electricity and magnetism interact. Using this idea, these devices can find and measure small electric currents. The Magnetic Field Generated by Current An electric current moving through a wire creates a magnetic field around it. This is a main rule of electromagnetism. Ampère’s … Read more

Electrical measurements

Fundamental Electrical Quantities Electrical Measurements section sets the stage by defining the main electrical parameters you often measure. It’s vital to know what each quantity means before you learn how to measure it. 1. Voltage (Potential Difference) Voltage is like the electrical pressure that pushes current through a circuit. Think of water in a pipe. … Read more

Core Balance Current Transformers

core balance current transformer

What Is a Core Balance Current Transformer? Definition and Basic Functionality A core balance current transformer is a special device designed to detect tiny differences in electrical currents. Unlike typical current transformers, CBCTs focus on the balance between multiple currents. When everything is working right, the currents flowing in different parts cancel each other out. … Read more

Introduction Imagine working on a live wire without turning off the power—that’s when a clamp meter becomes your best friend. These tools are critical for electrical testing because they let you measure current safely and quickly. As the demand for safer, more accurate tools grows in construction, maintenance, and industrial fields, understanding clamp meters is … Read more

Cathode Ray Oscilloscope

cathod ray oscilloscope

Introduction Modern electronics rely heavily on testing and measuring signals. Without the right tools, troubleshooting or designing circuits becomes near impossible. Among these tools, the cathode ray oscilloscope (CRO) has been a staple for decades. Its role in visualizing electrical signals has been crucial for engineers, technicians, and students alike. Understanding how CROs work offers … Read more
