What you'll learn

  1. Make an ammeter: A shunt makes an ammeter
  2. Make a voltmeter: A resistor in line makes a voltmeter
  3. Voltmeter into ammeter: One coil, two meters
  4. Find the coil: Two conversions fix the coil
  5. A real voltmeter reads low: A voltmeter takes some current
  6. Meters change the answer: Real meters in a test
  7. Wire the test: Which resistor makes which meter
  8. One-third deflection: A shunt that cuts the swing
