Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQ
The analog ammeter is:
- An absolute instrument
- A recording instrument
- An indicating instrument
- A controlling instrument
Correct answer: 3. An indicating instrument
Explanation: An analog ammeter is an indicating instrument. Indicating instruments provide a visual indication of the measured quantity without recording or controlling it. In the case of an analog ammeter, it indicates the electric current flowing in a circuit. The needle on the ammeter scale moves to show the magnitude of the current, providing a direct visual indication of the measured value. It does not record the data over time or control the circuit; its primary function is to display the current in real-time.
