Using the correct meter, yes.
If you would like to measure amps, there are two ways. First, you can splice the wire you'd like to measure the amps of in half, and have the ammeter/multimeter test leads touch each of the wire's sides. Now the circuit will connect up again as if you never cut the cable, and you can measure amps. The easier way is to get a clamp meter, which has a large loop that you can clip cables through and it will measure amps through induction, so you don't have to cut any cables.
You can measure the electrical current with an amp meter. Amperage measures the current flow.
No. The "10A" range means "please don't pass more than 10A through the meter while it's switched to this range".The display reads the current directly, i.e. 2.56 Amps.
thong each wire using amp meter
An analogue meter can measure volts, amps, ohms, and similar things. It simply shows the measurement as a rotating needle rather than a digital display.
A 100 amp meter can measure a maximum current capacity of 100 amps.
If you have the right test equipment amps are the easiest to measure. A slip over the wire amp meter is easier to use than a clamp on amp meter. The other two values have to be measured by using test leads from the test equipment.
a meter for amps
An Ammeter is connected in series with the circuit that you want to make the measurement on.
It's watts divided by volts equals amps. Example: 1200 watts at 120 volts is 10 amps. To get the watts if you know the amps, multiply the amps times the volts. 10 amps at 120 volts is 1200 watts.
Clamp the meter around the energized conductor that is connected to the load to be measured and read the amperage off of the dial face of the meter.
Registering 2 amps on an electrical meter could indicate that there are two separate circuits drawing 1 amp each, or it could mean that there is a single circuit with a total load of 2 amps. The meter simply sums up the current flowing through each circuit it is measuring.
