Chapter 4, Problem 1RQ
What are the three most common electric meters used in the industry?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The type of three most commonly used electric meters in the industry.
Explanation of Solution
An electric meter is a device utilized to measure various electrical variables or characteristics of a circuit. The most commonly used electric meters are listed below:
- Ammeter –– Used to measure the current flowing in an electric circuit. There are two types of ammeters.
- Voltmeter –– Used to measure the potential difference between two specific points in a circuit.
- Ohmmeter –– Used to measure the resistance of the component associated in a circuit.

- A mass of ideal gas in a closed piston-cylinder system expands from 427 °C and 16 bar following the process law, pv1.36 = Constant (p times v to the power of 1.36 equals to a constant). For the gas, initial : final pressure ratio is 4:1 and the initial gas volume is 0.14 m³. The specific heat of the gas at constant pressure, Cp = 0.987 kJ/kg-K and the specific gas constant, R = 0.267 kJ/kg.K. Determine the change in total internal energy in the gas during the expansion. Enter your numerical answer in the answer box below in KILO JOULES (not in Joules) but do not enter the units.
