Which meters are which

[Narelle01]

Can you please help me idnetify my volt meters etc.

I have one with a UA (the U is in running writing kind of)
V
A
MA all under lined.

THANKS! Will then label them!!!!

and start on my rocks - can you imagine my written descritptions of my rocks???? LOL

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but it is

microammeter
voltmeter
ammeter
milliammeter

some voltmeters will have a ~ underline and some a _ underline. These are different scales I think, with the ~ one being for smaller measurements.

the A is an ammeter- which measures current, in Amperes (or Amps for short)
the uA is a microammeter which measures current in the millionths of Amperes range (ie 10 to the -6 amps)
the V is a voltmeter, for measuring volts
hope this helps

[Narelle01]

it does help - thanks!!!

going to make labels now.

Why do i choose clean up and chuck out and sort out days when it is humid and i wear my hair 'down' ???

[Beaker]

Both Voltmeters & Ammeters can have a ~ underline and a _ underline. These are not different scales but ~ refers to AC while _ refers to DC..

The straight line under V indicates direct current and a wave under V indicates alternative current.
