  2. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    Wire crossover symbols for circuit diagrams. The CAD symbol for insulated crossing wires is the same as the older, non-CAD symbol for non-insulated crossing wires. To avoid confusion, the wire "jump" (semi-circle) symbol for insulated wires in non-CAD schematics is recommended (as opposed to using the CAD-style symbol for no connection), so as to avoid confusion with the original, older style ...

    Ammeter (Ampermeter) Measures current Capacitance meter: Measures the capacitance component Current clamp: Measures current without physical connection Curve tracer: Applies swept signals to a device and allows display of the response Cos Phi Meter: Measures the power factor Distortionmeter: Measures the distortion added to a circuit ...

  4. Printer tracking dots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots

    Printer tracking dots, also known as printer steganography, DocuColor tracking dots, yellow dots, secret dots, or a machine identification code (MIC), is a digital watermark which many color laser printers and photocopiers produce on every printed page that identifies the specific device that was used to print the document.

  5. Voltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltmeter

    A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. It is connected in parallel . It usually has a high resistance so that it takes negligible current from the circuit.

  6. Ammeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammeter

    Demonstration model of a moving iron ammeter. As the current through the coil increases, the plunger is drawn further into the coil and the pointer deflects to the right. An ammeter (abbreviation of ampere meter) is an instrument used to measure the current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A), hence the name. For direct ...

  7. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    Every inline series-connected ammeter, including a multimeter in a current range, has a certain resistance. Most multimeters inherently measure voltage, and pass a current to be measured through a shunt resistance, measuring the voltage developed across it. The voltage drop is known as the burden voltage, specified in volts per ampere.

  8. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A less common symbol is simply a series of peaks on one side of the line representing the conductor, rather than back-and-forth. Wire crossover symbols for circuit diagrams. The CAD symbol for insulated crossing wires is the same as the older, non-CAD symbol for non-insulated crossing wires. To avoid confusion, the wire "jump" (semi-circle ...

  9. Class of accuracy in electrical measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_of_accuracy_in...

    The ammeter is used in series with the load, so the same current flows through the load and the ammeter. The voltmeter is used in parallel with the load, so the voltage between the two terminals of the load is equal to the voltage between the two terminals of the voltmeter. Ideally the measuring device should not affect the circuit parameters i ...
