DC Ammeter
Product Code : JL-LEP-10405
The DC Ammeter (SKU JL-LEP-10405) is an analog, dual-range meter that measures DC current in a circuit on ranges of -0.2 to +0.6 A and -1.0 to +3.0 A with ±2.5% full-scale accuracy. This dc ammeter has a large 95 × 85 mm dial for class visibility, an external zero adjustment and colour-coded brass binding posts for 4 mm banana plugs. JaincoLab manufactures it in India for school and college physics.
Specifications
The DC ammeter has two selectable ranges, -0.2 to +0.6 A in 0.02 A divisions and -1.0 to +3.0 A in 0.1 A divisions, ±2.5% full-scale accuracy, a dial plate of at least 95 × 85 mm in a plastic case of at least 95 × 130 × 95 mm, external zero adjustment and brass binding posts for 4 mm plugs.

Applications of the DC ammeter
The ammeter is connected in series with a circuit to read the current, and its two ranges let students measure small currents from cells and larger currents from a power supply in the same practical.
- Measuring current in series and parallel circuits
- Verifying Ohm’s law with a voltmeter and resistors
- Investigating how current changes with the length of resistance wire
- Reading the charging and discharging current of a capacitor
- Current electricity practicals in secondary and first-year college physics
