Electronic Measuring Instruments are used for measuring physical and electrical quantities. The term measurement means the comparison between the two quantities of the same unit. The magnitude of one of the quantity is unknown, and it is compared with the predefined value. The result of the comparison obtained regarding numerical value. Examples of electronic measuring instruments include Ammeter, Voltmeter, Ohmmeter, and Wattmeter. Browse through this category for various electronic measuring instruments available in Zambian stores.
