-: Introduction :

There are many methods for measurement of physical quantities like force, voltage, current, resistance and many more.
This methods are mainly classified into two parts analog and digital measurement. Digital form is more accurate and modern form of measurement. Today I'm going to talk about digital measurement techniques.

-: Introduction :

Now to measure physical quantities we need some instruments like galvanometer, voltmeter, etc.
These instruments measure the required quantities in their specific units like SI unit system eg. MKS (mass, kilogram, second). In this presentation we will see how this process is carried out.

-: Digital Measurement of Voltage :

Voltage is the electric potential difference between two points, or the difference in electric potential energy of a unit test charge transported between two points. Its SI unit of measurement is volt (V) and subunits are millivolts (mV), microvolts (V), etc.
It is used for measuring batteries.

-: Digital Measurement of Voltage :

The figure besides shows the image of a digital voltmeter which is used to measure voltage of given devices.
We can measure both AC and DC voltages through this device.

-: Digital Measurement of Voltage :To measure the voltage we have to set proper voltage (AC , DC) and a proper range. Then we have to set a proper scale i.e. millivolts, microvolts,kilovolt, etc.

-: Digital Measurement of Voltage :Then we have to put the two pins of voltmeter on the two points across which the voltage is to be measured.
Then the value displayed on the device is voltage between the two points.

-: Digital Measurement of Current :

An electric current is a flow of electric charge. Electric charge flows when there is voltage present across a conductor.
Its SI unit is A (ampere) given by columbs/second. Its subunits are miliampere, microampere, etc. Its is important to measure amount of charge passing through conductor

-: Digital Measurement of Current :The figure besides shows the image of a digital ammeter which is used to measure current of given devices.
We can measure both AC and DC current through this device.

-: Digital Measurement of Current :

While measuring current through ammeter attention is to be paid at where we are attaching the connecting wires.
While measuring high current wire should be attached at high current port.

-: Digital Measurement of Current :If precaution is not taken than high current may damage the ammeter.
Digital ammeter makes measuring current very easy and accurate.

-: A Digital Multimeter :This device as name suggest measures many electric quantities like voltage and current. With setting proper parameters one can measure both voltage and current with the help of this device.

-: A Digital Multimeter :To measure voltage the dial is to set at V mark and for current at A mark.
Than connecting wires are to be attached at the two points on the circuit where a quantity is to be measured.

-: Digital Measurement of Force :In physics, a force is any influence that causes an object to undergo a certain change, either concerning its movement, direction, or geometrical construction.
According to Newton F=ma It's SI unit is newton (kgm/s.s) and smaller unit is known is dyne.

-: Digital Measurement of Force :Force is measured by device known as digital force meter or force gauge. A digital force gauge/ meter is shown in photo beside

-: Digital Measurement of Force :A digital force gauge is basically a handheld instrument that contains a load cell, electronic part, software and a display. A load cell is an electronic device that is used to convert a force into an electrical signal.

-: Digital Measurement of Force :A force is applied at the hook end of the device. The pull or push force stretches the hook which in turn measures the force.
This than shows readings on the display. So we come to know amount of force.

-: Conclusion :So in this way different devices are present to measure different physical quantities.

A proper instrument is to be selected to measure a proper quantity.
