16 D Arsonval s galvanometer We ll call it simply meter henceforth. The meter is a coil of wire mounted next to a permanent magnet. Any current passing through the coil will induce magnetism in the coil. The interaction of the new electromagnetism and the permanent magnet will move the meter indicator mounted to the coil.

17 The Ammeter and Voltmeter The ammeter (sometimes prefixed with milli or micro because the currents to be measured are routinely thousandths or millionths of an ampere) may be used to measure current OR voltage. A shunt resistor makes this conversion as shown below in Figure

20 Ohmmeters and digital multimeters An ohmmeter is designed specifically to measure resistance. Refer to Figure and Figure below to see an ohmmeter wiring diagram and a photograph of a digital multimeter. The multimeter can measure current, voltage, or resistance over a wide range.

26 Fuses, circuit breakers, and GFI A fuse will melt and a breaker will open the circuit if maximum current is reached. See Figure GFI stops further current flow when a sudden drop in resistance indicates that someone has offered a new path to ground. I don t know if it will save this worker we see in Figure who didn t use a grounded drill.
