For more than a century, scientists have relied on separate tools to measure the three core building blocks of electricity: volts, ohms, and amps. Each describes a different piece of how electricity ...

Measurement triangle: this quantum metrology triangle shows the relations between the three electrical units volt, ohm and ampere and the involved fundamental constants. Researchers at PTB are ...

The standard unit of electric current, the ampere, is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units. But measuring a current exactly in amperes is not an easy task. In fact, in 1990 ...

Testing electrical systems for electrostatic discharge (ESD) robustness usually involves using IEC 61000-4-2 as a benchmark. This standard defines the stress current waveforms for each voltage level, ...

Santa Clara, Calif. — Agilent Technologies Inc. has introduced two modules for its Agilent N6700 Modular Power System family that deliver quick and accurate measurements of microamp current for a ...

In ancient times when someone needed to make a measurement, they would turn to something close at hand, often literally a hand. A tradition that originated thousands of years ago in Egypt that is ...
