Description
The sensing element is a resistor connected between the red and black terminals. The sensor is protected by a multifuse.
The Current sensor is specially designed for measurements of very low and accurate currents.
Technical specifications:
- Measurement range: – 500 mA .. +500 mA
- Resolution: 0.38 mA
- Maximum voltage: 50 V
- Maximum measurement frequency: 100 kHz (CoachLab II+, WiLab) / 1 MHz (VinciLab 2)
- Warrantee: 36 months
All technical specifications of the sensor are described in the product manual, see downloads.
The current sensor can be used in various physics experiments such as:
- Characteristics of a light bulb and a diode
- Measurements of internal resonance and EMF
- Measurements in series and parallel electrical circuits
- Together with a Differential Voltage Sensor it can be used to explore the relationship between the current and the voltage in electrical circuits – Ohm’s Law
