Ammeter- Definition and Working Principle

An Ammeter is a device used for the measurement of current in amperes. When the current in a circuit is substantially less than an ampere, its value is determined by the use of a milliammeter or micro-ammeter, which measures full-scale currents in milli-amperes or microamperes, respectively. The symbol for the ammeter …

Mutual Inductance and Self Inductance | Formula & Example

Electromagnetic induction occurs when a magnetic flux in motion with respect to a single conductor or a coil induces an emf in the conductor or coil. Because the growth or decline of current through a coil generates a changing flux, an emf is induced in the coil by its own …

Superposition Theorem

Superposition theorem is stated as follows: The current is any circuit element or voltage across any element of a linear bilateral network is the algebraic sum of the currents or voltages separately produced by each source of energy. Simultaneous equations may be avoided in the solution of a complex network …

Norton’s Theorem | Norton’s Equivalent Circuit

Norton’s Theorem states that: Suppose we are given an arbitrary circuit containing any or all of the following elements: resistors, voltage sources, current sources (the source can be dependent as well as independent). Let us identify a pair of nodes, say node a and b, such that the circuit can …
