Galvanometer to ammeter simulator
Discover the transformation of a galvanometer into an ammeter with our interactive simulator: explore current measurement and the role of shunt resistors in expanding its range.
Galvanometer to ammeter
Electricity is the backbone of modern technology, enabling everything from tiny sensors to massive power grids. But how do we measure and expand the range of current detection? Explore the fascinating journey of converting a galvanometer into an ammeter with our interactive simulator. Adjust the parameters, experiment with shunt resistors, and discover the science behind precise current measurement — start your exploration today!
\( I_{max} = \frac{G}{S + G}
\)
Mathematical description
where:
- \( I_{max} \) is the maximum current ammeter can measure
- \( S \) is the shunt resistance
- \( G \) is the resistance of the galvanometer
