In this example we’ll show you how to measure the voltage drop across a resistor in a simple circuit. This example circuit lights up an LED. TIP:two components in parallel share voltage, so you should connect the multimeter probes in parallel with the component you want to measure the vol...
where "Vrc" is the voltage across the collector resistor; "Vrb" is the voltage across the base resistor (connected across the base) and the junction between the collector resistor and the transistor collector; and "Vbe" is the
1. Using a Shunt Resistor This is perhaps the simplest way to measure current, and will be discussed here in detail. The current-to-voltage converter here is the humble resistor. Basic knowledge tells us that the voltage across a resistor is proportional to the current flowing through it. Th...
Having said all that, in this case this is a standard problem and there are simple pre-packaged solutions. You install a low-value shunt resistor in the supply (people often prefer to use the +ve supply) and use a specialized amplifier to measure the voltage ...
Turn on the voltmeter and set the scale to measure "Volts DC." Place the black voltmeter probe on the electrical joint between the second wire and the 1-kiloohm resistor. Place the red voltmeter probe on the electrical joint between the two resistors. The voltage across the resistor will be...
current transformer is used in industry to measure the high AC current value. Current transformers are used in industry for commercial metering, recording, current sensing, monitoring, and control. Current transformers are used to monitor high voltage line across the power grid. In industry, CTs ar...
Using a multimeter like this one, you can automatically find the resistance of an electronic component; the meter feeds a known current through the component, measures the voltage across it, and uses Ohm's law to calculate the resistance. Although multimeters are reasonably accurate, you have to...
Measurements of open circuit voltage, terminal (load) voltage, and current were to be made with a single multimeter. One soon discovered that an resistor connected to a typical AA cell would draw a substantive current and that measurement of terminal voltage was problematic on account of that ...

How to Calculate the Emitter Current Limiting Resistor in Parallel BJTs It is actually very simple, and could be calculated using Ohm's Law: R = V/I, Where V is the supply voltage used in the circuit, and "I" could be 70% of the transistor's maximum current handling capacity. ...
