Meters and Testers

In this article I have explained how to build a simple AC ammeter circuit which can be used for checking the current consumption of household 220 V or 120 V appliances. The main reason for high monthly utility bills is the use of large electrical equipment like refrigerators, washers and dryers, dishwashers, etc. These appliances […]

In this article I have explained how to build a simple bicycle speedometer circuit which can be used to measure the speed of the bicycle. Video Demonstration What is a Bicycle Speedometer, How it Works Bicycle speedometer is a device which checks the rotation per minute of the bicycle wheel and displays the results over […]

In this article I have explained a simple high voltage meter circuit which can be used for measuring extremely high voltages in the order of many 1000s of volts. The circuit can be used to measure high voltages from CDI units, Automobile spark plugs, high voltage generators, mosquito bat circuits, fence chargers, room ionizer circuits […]

In this article I have explained 3 different light meter circuits for measuring power of light. In the first method we will use only a solar cell and a multimeter, in the second method we will use an op amp and a moving coil meter, and in the third method we will see how a […]

The simple LED oscilloscope circuit I have explained in this article can be used for analyzing low frequency waveform through a 10 x 10 LED matrix display. Due to the involvement of only 100 LEDs in the display board, the resolution is low, and the waveform display clarity is not so impressive. Yet, this LED […]

A Wheatstone Bridge circuit is commonly used to measure resistance, inductance, capacitance, and impedance. These are made up of four parts or arms that are joined in series in a diamond like bridge configuration. These four arms carry the individual components such as resistor, inductor or capacitor connected across the fur junctions. An alternating current (AC) or […]
