1. What are electric meters used for?

2. Which are the main instruments used to detect and measure current?

3. Who was the first to devise a reflecting galvanometer?

4. PART II: READING AND COMPREHENSION Electric Meters are instruments for measuring and indicating magnitudes of electrical values, such as current, charge, potential, and power, and the electrical characteristics of circuits, such as resistance, capacitance, and inductance. The information is usually presented in terms of defined, standard electrical units, which principally are the ohm, volt, ampere, coulomb, henry, farad, watt, and joule. Given that all forms of matter exhibit one or more electrical characteristics, electrical measurements may be taken from an essentially unlimited number of sources.

Measurements of Current.

Galvanometers are the main instruments used to detect and measure current. They

depend on the fact that force is generated by an electric current flowing in a magnetic

field. The mechanism of the galvanometer is so arranged that a small permanent

magnet or electromagnet sets up a magnetic field that generates a force when

current flows in a wire coil adjacent to the magnet. Either the magnet or the adjacent

coil may be movable. The force deflects the movable member by an amount

proportional to the strength of the current. The movable member may have a pointer

or some other device to enable the amount of deflection to be read on a calibrated

scale.

In the D'Arsonval galvanometer, a small mirror attached to a movable coil reflects a

beam of light on a scale about 1 m (about 3 ft) away from the instrument. This

arrangement involves less inertia and friction than does a pointer, and consequently,

greater accuracy is achieved. The instrument is named after the French biologist and

physicist Jacques d'Arsonval, who devised the first reflecting galvanometer. He also

conducted experiments with the mechanical equivalent of heat and in the high-

frequency oscillating current of low voltage and high amperage, D'Arsonval current,

used in the treatment of certain diseases (diathermy treatment). The addition of a

scale and proper calibration converts a galvanometer into an ammeter, the

instrument used for measuring electric current in amperes; D'Arsonval was also

responsible for inventing a direct-current (DC) ammeter.

Only a limited amount of current can be passed through the fine wire of a

galvanometer coil. When large currents must be measured, a shunt of low resistance

is attached across the terminals of the meter. Most of the current is bypassed

6

through this shunt resistance, but the small current flowing through the meter is still

proportional to the total current. By taking advantage of this proportionality, a

galvanometer can be used to measure currents of hundreds of amperes.

Galvanometers are usually named according to the magnitude of the currents they

will measure. A microammeter is calibrated in millionths of an ampere and a

milliammeter in thousandths of an ampere.

Ordinary galvanometers cannot be used for the measurement of an alternating

current (AC), because the alternation of the current would produce deflection in both

directions. An adaptation of the galvanometer, however, called an

electrodynamometer, can be used to measure alternating currents by means of

electromagnetic deflection. In this meter a fixed coil, in series with the moving coil, is

employed in place of the permanent magnet of the galvanometer. Because the

current in the fixed and moving coils reverses at the same instant, the deflection of

the moving coil is always in the same direction, and the meter gives a constant

current reading. Meters of this type can also be used to measure direct currents.

Another form of electromagnetic meter is the iron-vane meter or soft-iron meter. In

this device two vanes of soft iron, one fixed and one pivoted, are placed between the

poles of a long, cylindrical coil through which is passed the current to be measured.

The current induces magnetism in the two vanes, causing the same deflection no

matter what the direction of the current. The amount of the current is ascertained by

measuring the deflection of the moving vane.

Meters that depend on the heating effect of an electric current are used to measure

alternating current of high frequency. In thermocouple meters the current passes

through a fine wire that heats a thermocouple junction; the electricity generated by

the thermocouple is measured by an ordinary galvanometer. In hot-wire meters the

current passes through a thin wire that heats and stretches. This wire is mechanically

linked to a pointer that moves over a scale calibrated in terms of current.
