How do you measure current in an electronic circuit?

It is measured in the unit of the Ampere, simply called “Amp,” (A). The most common way to measure current in a circuit is to break the circuit open and insert an “ammeter” in series (in-line) with the circuit so that all electrons flowing through the circuit also have to go through the meter.

How do you measure a PWM signal?

The pulse width and period of the PWM wave can be calculated by recording the counter value of the signal along the changing moment, so as to calculate the duty cycle.

Can I measure PWM with multimeter?

This is mostly a job for an oscilloscope, multimeters are not fast enough. If you can control the PWM it is easiest to measure DC voltage at highest and lowest PWM setting. The min/max function on multimeteres usual requires about 0.3s or 300ms to measure a value, this means it cannot be used even at 10Hz.

What are the ways to measure current?

There are two main ways to measure current – one is based on electromagnetics and is associated with the early moving coil (d’Arsonval) meter, and the other is based on the main theory of electricity, Ohm’s law.

How do you measure the duty cycle and frequency of a PWM signal?

This is the pulse width, or PW, of the signal. Calculate the period, or “T”, of the frequency, or “f,” using the formula: T = 1/f. For example, if the frequency is 20 hz, then T = 1/20, with a result of 0.05 seconds. Determine the duty cycle, represented by “D,” through the formula D = PW/T.
