Which quantity does an ammeter clamp measure without breaking the circuit?

  • A.Resistance
  • B.Power, which is displayed directly and is obtained by combining the current with the system voltage internally
  • C.Current, by sensing the magnetic field around the conductor
  • D.Voltage drop along the conductor, from which the current is calculated using the resistance of the cable

Answer: C

A clamp meter reads the field around a cable, which allows a starter current of hundreds of amps to be measured safely. Volt drop along a cable is a genuine alternative technique used with a known cable, which makes the second option a real method. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision.
