But perhaps the most interesting and useful application is the low
current ammeter shown here in Fig. 1. The circuit can measure
current as low as a few pA and. as high as 100 A in six switch
ranges.
Unlike many low current ammeters, the one shown here does not
require high-value precision resistors. As you can see, the desired
range is selected from a tap on a voltage divider made up of six 1%
(or better) 511-ohm resistors.
Any good ammeter should cause very little voltage drop across its
input terminals. The voltage drop across the input of the OP-41 is
less than 500 V, so that makes it effective as a low
current metering device.
