    This document describes an experiment to measure high DC current and voltage values using a low range ammeter or voltmeter along with a shunt or multiplier, respectively. The experiment involves calculating the required shunt or multiplier resistance values, connecting the circuits, taking observations at different current and voltage levels, and calculating the multiplying powers. The conclusions are that a low range meter can measure high values with a shunt or multiplier, and the same meter can be used to measure different ranges by changing the shunt or multiplier. Questions are also provided to test understanding of key concepts like range, shunts, multipliers, and extending meter ranges.

    NEW CONCEPTS
    Proposition 1 : High value of Current and Voltage. High value of current means the current exceeding the safe working current of the particular instrument. Similarly High value of voltage means the voltage exceeding the safe working voltage of the particular instrument. Concept Structure 1 :

    Proposition 2 : Range of the instrument (measurement capacity) Range, also called as full scale deflection (FSD) of the instrument is the maximum permissible value of current or voltage that the instrument can measure and it is limited by the current which the coil of the instrument can carry safely. For example, the coil and spiral springs of the P. M. M. C. instrument are very delicate and are normally designed for maximum current of only about 50 milli - amperes and a potential drop of about 50 milli - volts. But the instrument (Ammeter or Voltmeter) is often required to measure value more than its Range i.e. measurement capacity. i.e. it is required to measure High value of D. C. current by a Low range D. C. Ammeter. Similarly, High value of D. C. voltage by a Low range D. C. voltmeter.

    Concept Structure 2 :

    Proposition 3 : Measurement of high value of D. C. current. The current carrying capacity of a D. C. ammeter depends upon the resistance of the coil of the particular instrument. So for a Low range D. C. Ammeter, to measure a high value of D. C. current, its resistance should be reduced, which is done with the help of a device called 'shunt'. 'Shunt is a low resistance, necessarily lower than the instrument and it is connected in parallel with Ammeter (i.e.) instrument coil. Thus a low range D. C. Ammeter with the help of 'Shunt' can measure high value of D. C. current. Concept Structure 3 :

    Proposition 4 : Shunt resistance. A low range D. C. Ammeter with resistance r ohms and maximum safe working current (full scale deflection) I amp, can measure the high current of I amp with the help of Shunt of resistance Rsh given by Rsh = r / (M 1) ohms Where M = Multiplying Power of Shunt = I / i Concept Structure 4 : with the help of

    Proposition 5 : Measurement of high value of D. C. voltage. The current carrying capacity of D. C. voltmeter also depends upon the resistance of the coil of the particular instrument. So for a low range D. C. voltmeter, to measure a high value of D. C. voltage, its resistance should be increased, which is done with the help of a device called 'multiplier'.

    'Multiplier' is a high resistance and it is connected in series with the instrument coil. Thus a low range D. C. voltmeter with the help of 'multiplier' can measure high value of D. C. voltage. Concept Structure 5 :
