The tool used for measuring amps is the ________.
Ammeter
To read the amount of flow of electricity. (flow meter)
A smaller amount of version of amps.
Milliamps
Milliamps only use this setting on very low powered citcuits.
You must NEVER use an ________ across a battery or the power source as you will distroy or cook your meter.
Ammeter
You should never put jumper wires across a battery. it will create an el
A tool makes taking amperage measurement.
Clamp-on ammeter
[REMEMBER] Circuit can only be tested for amps while the circuit is ON.
Resists, restricts or slows down electricity from flowing properly throughout the circuit.
Electrical Resistance
