🔍 Key Concepts

• How a clamp-on ammeter measures current (magnetic field around a conductor) • Difference between series connection and non-contact (clamp) measurement • Why only one conductor should be inside the clamp for an accurate reading

💭 Think About

• Think about whether a clamp-on ammeter must be wired into the circuit, or if it works without breaking the circuit • Consider what the clamp (jaws) actually go around and why the insulation matters • Ask yourself what step must happen before any reading or calibration can make sense with this type of meter

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether a clamp-on ammeter requires the circuit to be energized or de-energized to read current • Check if current measurement with this type of meter is done by the jaws around a single conductor, not by test leads in series • Confirm that shorting test leads and zeroing is usually associated with conventional ammeters or ohmmeters, not clamp-only current measurement
