CONCLUSION

In this experiment we determined the characteristics and proper connection of common electrical
measuring devices, we read measurements of basic electrical measuring device and we familiarized
ourselves with the basic circuit training kit and learned the proper connection of trainer kit devices.

Practically all electric measurements involve either the measurement or detection of electric
current. The measurement of electric current can be accomplished by means of any one of the three principal
effects of current: heating effect, chemical effect, or magnetic effect. The galvanometer sensitivity exists
although there are numerous ways of expressing it; current sensitivity, voltage sensitivity, and mega ohm
sensitivity, each involving a statement of the electrical conditions necessary to produce a standard
deflection. In our experiment we only determine the characteristic of ammeter and voltmeter and from there
we have the current sensitivity as current per unit deflection ( = ), voltage sensitivity, and voltmeter
sensitivity as the voltage required per unit deflection.

In the last part of the experiment, the experiment shows the importance of the correct use of the
circuit 1 trainer kit, electronic devices. This also shows the relationship between voltage, current and
resistance, and somehow also proves the ohms law which states that the voltage across the resistor is
directly proportional to the current flowing through the resistor [1]. We can also test the electrical
components if they are in good terms using the electrical measuring devices. We have also learned that
when measuring voltages and currents, the voltmeter must be connected in parallel across the circuit
element so that its inclusion in the circuit has negligible effect on total resistance and current flowing in the
circuit while the ammeter must be connected in series with the circuit element.
