Measuring electric current
Measuring electric current. Circuit diagram showing the arrangement of equipment used to measure electric current flowing through a component. The components are represented by standard symbols. At left is a battery consisting of two cells; a resistor is at right; an open switch is at bottom; and an ammeter is at top. When the switch is closed, the potential difference (voltage) of the battery will cause electric current to flow round the circuit. The value of the electric current will vary depending on the value of the resistor. The ammeter is used to measure the amount of electric current

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the process of measuring electric current through a circuit diagram. The arrangement of equipment, represented by standard symbols, is meticulously displayed. On the left side, we see a battery consisting of two cells, while on the right side stands a resistor. At the bottom lies an open switch and at the top sits an ammeter. When the switch is closed, the potential difference (voltage) generated by the battery initiates electric current flow throughout the circuit. The value of this electric current varies based on the resistance offered by the resistor. To accurately measure this amount of electric current, an ammeter is employed. The image beautifully captures both technological and physical aspects related to electricity and electronics. It highlights how electrical engineering utilizes schematic diagrams to represent circuits in order to understand their functioning and measure various parameters. With its focus on non-integrated devices and fundamental principles like Ohm's Law, this photograph serves as a reminder that even in our highly advanced world of technology, understanding basic concepts remains crucial for further advancements in science and engineering. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an insightful visual representation that sparks curiosity about our ever-evolving world of electricity and its measurement techniques.
