Exp. No: 01
Exp. Name: (a) Familiarization with Some Electrical Components
and Electrical Measuring Instruments
(b) Fundamental Concepts on AC Circuit

Circuit: A close conducting path through which an electric

current either flows or intended to flow

Electrical Parameters: The various elements of an electric

circuit are called its parameter, like resistor, inductor,
capacitor, voltage source, current source etc.

Active Elements: Voltage source, Current source

Passive Elements: Resistors, Inductors,
Capacitors

 Active Elements

Voltage Source: A voltage source is a two terminal device

which can maintain a fixed voltage.

Current Source: A current source is an electronic circuit that

delivers or absorbs an electric current which is independent of
the voltage across it. i.e. which can deliver a constant current.

 Electric Meter

Different Electrical Meters for Measurement

Purpose:
Galvanometers

Ammeters

Voltmeters

AVO meter (Commercially called Multimeter)

Wattmeter

Protik_Lecturer_Department of EEE
 Ammeter

A current measuring instrument

Measures the amount of current flow through the
circuit
Ammeter is a low resistance device

Ammeter is always connected in series with the

branch whose current is to be measured

 Ammeter

Two types _ DC Ammeter

_ AC Ammeter

A DC ammeter is polarity marked with +Ve and Ve

sign

The +Ve polarity of DC ammeter have to be connected

to the current entering side of the circuit

 Voltmeter

To measure electrical potential difference between two

points in an electric circuit
Voltmeter is a high resistance device

Voltmeter have to be always connected across

the load

 Voltmeter

Two types _ DC Voltmeter

_ AC Voltmeter

In a DC voltmeter the terminals are provided with

polarity marking (+Ve and Ve)

To use DC voltmeter precaution should be taken about

the polarity marking

In an AC voltmeter there is no such polarity marking

 Multimeter

It is also known as Electronic VOM or AVO meter

Used to measure current, voltage and resistance both

for AC and DC quantity, for a number of ranges

Some multimeter provide the facilities of measuring

inductance, capacitance, temperature

Two type _ Analog AVO meter

_ Digital AVO meter

 Wattmeter

To measure electric power in a circuit

Wattmeter is generally four terminal device
Two terminal are the end points of potential coil (P.C.)
and the other two are current coil (C.C.)
