Measuring Voltage and Current
• d’Arsenval analog meter movement

ECE 201 Circuit Theory I 2
Analog Ammeter
• Use a d’Arsenval meter movement with a parallel resistor (shunt).
• The parallel resistor diverts some of the current away from the meter movement.

ECE 201 Circuit Theory I 3
Analog Voltmeter
• Use a d’Arsenval meter movement in series with a resistor (multiplier).
• The resistor limits the voltage drop across the meter movement.

ECE 201 Circuit Theory I 4
Sources of Error
• Any instrument (meter) used to make measurements extracts energy from the circuit. (Known as “loading” the circuit).
• The amount of error due to loading depends on the effective resistance of the instrument compared with the resistance in the circuit.

ECE 201 Circuit Theory I 5
Rule of the “one-tenth”
• The effective resistance of the ammeter should be no more than 1/10th of the value of the smallest resistance in the circuit.– The current being measured should be the
same with or without the ammeter.

ECE 201 Circuit Theory I 6
For a Voltmeter
• Since voltage is a parallel measurement, the “loading” effect is minimized when the voltmeter resistance is much higher than the circuit resistance across which the measurement is being made.

Problem # 3.33
• A d’Arsenval voltmeter is shown. Determine the value of Rv for a full-scale reading of 5 Volts.
![Page 10: ECE 201 Circuit Theory I1 Measuring Voltage and Current d’Arsenval analog meter movement](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d555503460f94a334ce/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ECE 201 Circuit Theory I 10
Choosing the Multiplier Resistor
• When 5V is applied, the meter will be at full-scale deflection.
• The meter resistance is 50Ω.
• Total resistance needs to be 5kΩ.
• The series resistor Rv (multiplier) needs to be 4950Ω.
