Clamp on meters.
Clamp meters works on the principle of magnetic induction for measurements of alternating current.According to Faraday law Electric current flowing through a wire produces a magnetic field. Since alternating current frequently polarity gets reversed which causes sinusoidal variations in the magnetic field proportional to the current flow. A current transformer placed inside clamp meter would calculate these reversal of magnetic cycles and converts the value to an AC current reading. This principle is used for measuring very high AC currents. The basic main advantage is it can merely be clamped on without any disturbance in the circuit.
Direct current, flows through conductors in a fixed polarity.Hence , the magnetic field around the conductor does not induce any magnetic fluctuations and AC clamp meters will register no reading. DC clamp meters work on the principle of the Hall Effect. Hall effect sensors sense the magnetic field caused by current flow which causes a small voltage across the Hall effect .That voltage, which is proportional to current is amplified and measured , which is obtained on the screen as digital numbers.
with sufficient converters being used like amps to voltage, voltage reading can be obtained , consequently the resistance of the conductors. A image of the basic clamp meter is hereby attached.

One heater uses 410 W of power when connected by itself to a battery. Another heater uses 340 W of power when connected by itself to the same battery. How much total power do the heaters use when they are both connected in series across the battery?
One heater uses 309 W of power when connected by itself to a battery. Another heater uses 222 W of power when connected by itself to the same battery. How much total power do the heaters use when they are both connected in series across the battery?
Please do draw the two circuit and calculate the theoretical values. Make a sketch below of a balanced Y-connected resistive load, having a resistance of 300 S2 per phase, connected to the power supply, with an ammeter connected in each line/phase, and a voltmeter across each phase. Knowing that Vi-1 is 208 V, determine the expected current- and volt-meter readins, and record these values in the table below. Please 3. use the actual components in the lab. Table 2 Y-connected...
Two resistors when connected in series to a 1000 v line use one forth the power that is used when they are connected in parallel. if one resistor is 7.85 k-ohms, what is the resistance of the other?
help You are given a battery (DC power), two resistors (R1 and R2), one DC voltmeter and one DC ammeter. Draw a diagram for the two cases, clearly label the connections of the ammeter and voltmeter. R1 and R2 are connected in series. Use the voltmeter to measure the voltage of R1 and use the ammeter to measure the current. R1 and R2 are connected in parallel. Use the voltmeter to measure the voltage of R1 and use the ammeter...

I need to know how I would use only one additional measurement to find R2, not knowing either resistor's resistance. (I am allowed to use an oscilloscope) 3. Construct the circuit at the right. Set the output of the DC power supply to 6 volts. (Set using the DMM) Determine the resistance of R2 by a SINGLE additional voltage measurement. Do not make the measurement using the DMM as an Ohmmeter or an Ammeter! [Setup Excludes wiring to meter] SHOW...
