What does it mean to measure a physical quantity? What is the unit of physical quantity? Here you will find answers to these very important questions.

1. Find out what is called a physical quantity

Since ancient times, people have used their characteristics to more accurately describe any events, phenomena, properties of bodies and substances. For example, comparing the bodies that surround us, we say that a book is smaller than a bookcase, and a horse is larger than a cat. This means that the volume of the horse is greater than the volume of the cat, and the volume of the book is less than the volume of the cabinet.

Volume is an example of a physical quantity that characterizes the general property of bodies to occupy one or another part of space (Fig. 1.15, a). In this case, the numerical value of the volume of each of the bodies is individual.

Rice. 1.15 To characterize the properties of bodies to occupy one or another part of space, we use the physical quantity volume (o, b), to characterize the movement - speed (b, c)

A general characteristic of many material objects or phenomena, which can acquire an individual meaning for each of them, is called physical quantity.

Another example of a physical quantity is the well-known concept of “speed”. All moving bodies change their position in space over time, but the speed of this change is different for each body (Fig. 1.15, b, c). Thus, an airplane manages to change its position in space by 250 m in 1 from a flight, a car - by 25 m, a person - by 1 m, and a turtle - by only a few centimeters. Therefore, physicists say that speed is a physical quantity that characterizes the speed of movement.

It is easy to guess that volume and speed are far from all the physical quantities that physics operates with. Mass, density, force, temperature, pressure, voltage, illumination - this is only a small part of those physical quantities that you will get acquainted with while studying physics.


2. Find out what it means to measure a physical quantity

In order to quantitatively describe the properties of any material object or physical phenomenon, it is necessary to establish the value of the physical quantity that characterizes this object or phenomenon.

The value of physical quantities is obtained by measurements (Fig. 1.16-1.19) or calculations.


Rice. 1.16. “There are 5 minutes left before the train departs,” you measure the time with excitement

Rice. 1.17 “I bought a kilo of apples,” says mom about her weight measurements


Rice. 1.18. “Dress warmly, it’s cooler outside today,” your grandmother takes care of you after measuring the air temperature outside

Rice. 1.19. 'My blood pressure's back up,' woman complains after taking her blood pressure

To measure a physical quantity means to compare it with a homogeneous quantity taken as a unit.

Rice. 1.20 If a grandmother and grandson measure the distance in steps, they will always get different results

Let us give an example from fiction: “After walking three hundred paces along the river bank, a small detachment entered under the vaults of a dense forest, along the winding paths of which they had to wander for ten days.” (J. Verne "Fifteen-year-old captain")


Rice. 1.21.

The heroes of the novel by J. Verne measured the distance traveled, comparing it with a step, that is, a step served as a unit of measurement. There were three hundred such steps. As a result of the measurement, a numerical value (three hundred) of a physical quantity (path) in selected units (steps) was obtained.

Obviously, the choice of such a unit does not allow comparing the results of measurements obtained by different people, since the step length is different for everyone (Fig. 1.20). Therefore, for the sake of convenience and accuracy, people long ago began to agree on how to measure the same physical quantity with the same units. Today, in most countries of the world, the International System of Units of Measurement adopted in 1960, which is called the “International System” (SI) (Fig. 1.21), is in force.

In this system, the unit of length is the meter (m), time is the second (s); volume is measured in cubic meters (m 3), and speed is measured in meters per second (m / s). You will learn about other SI units later.

3. Remember multiples and submultiples

From the course of mathematics, you know that to reduce the notation of large and small values ​​of different quantities, multiples and submultiples are used.

Multiple units are units that are 10, 100, 1000 or more times larger than base units. Submultiple units are units that are 10, 100, 1000 or more times smaller than the main ones.

Prefixes are used to record multiples and submultiples. For example, units of length, multiples of one meter, are a kilometer (1000 m), a decameter (10 m).

Units of length, sub-multiples of one meter, are decimeter (0.1 m), centimeter (0.01 m), micrometer (0.000001 m) and so on.

The table shows the most commonly used prefixes.

4. Getting to know measuring instruments

Scientists measure physical quantities using measuring instruments. The simplest of them - a ruler, tape measure - are used to measure the distance and linear dimensions of the body. You are also well aware of such measuring instruments as a clock - a device for measuring time, a protractor - a device for measuring angles on a plane, a thermometer - a device for measuring temperature, and some others (Fig. 1.22, p. 20). You have yet to become familiar with many measuring instruments.

Most measuring instruments have a scale that makes it possible to measure. In addition to the scale, the instrument indicates the units in which the value measured by this instrument is expressed *.

On the scale, you can set the two most important characteristics of the device: the limits of measurement and the division value.

Measurement limits- this is the largest and smallest values ​​​​of a physical quantity that can be measured by this device.

Today, electronic measuring instruments are widely used, in which the value of the measured quantities is displayed on the screen in the form of numbers. Limits of measurement and units are determined by the passport of the device or set by a special switch on the panel of the device.



Rice. 1.22. Measuring instruments

Value of division- this is the value of the smallest division of the scale of the measuring instrument.

For example, the upper limit of measurements of a medical thermometer (Fig. 1.23) is 42 ° C, the lower one is 34 ° C, and the division value of the scale of this thermometer is 0.1 ° C.

We remind you: in order to determine the price of a division of the scale of any device, it is necessary to divide the difference between any two values ​​\u200b\u200bof the quantities indicated on the scale by the number of divisions between them.

  • Physics and technology in Ukraine

One of the outstanding physicists of our time - Lev Davidovich Landau (1908-1968) - demonstrated his abilities while still in high school. After graduating from university, he trained with one of the creators of quantum physics, Niels Bohr. Already at the age of 25, he headed the theoretical department of the Ukrainian Institute of Physics and Technology and the Department of Theoretical Physics of Kharkov University. Like most outstanding theoretical physicists, Landau had an extraordinary breadth of scientific interests. Nuclear physics, plasma physics, the theory of superfluidity of liquid helium, the theory of superconductivity - Landau made a significant contribution to all these branches of physics. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on low temperature physics.

Every person who works in a certain field of activity is faced with measuring instruments. With their help, you can measure certain indicators and measure different objects.

You can buy such devices here, where they are available in a huge assortment. The accuracy of the result that you get in the end depends on the quality of the measuring device.

Determining the scale division value

A certain value, which is called the scale division price, is calculated according to certain rules.

Here are the main points to keep in mind:

  • at the very beginning, you need to take those values ​​​​of the scale that are located in the neighborhood;
  • then it is necessary to calculate their difference;
  • after that, consider the number of intermediate divisions that are located between the same values;
  • at the very end, the resulting difference is divided by the number of intermediate divisions.

These are the main steps that will allow you to determine the price of the division of the scale. If you did it right, you can get the most accurate result.

Such devices have advantages that distinguish them favorably from other options. Measuring devices are stable, able to last as long as possible, show the result with the highest accuracy.

Professionals who work in different fields of activity often use multifunctional devices. With the help of such equipment, it is possible to measure simultaneously according to different indicators.

Modern measuring devices allow you to store data in memory and sort them into archives. If in the future you need to return to past information, then you will extract it and carefully review it.

Measuring instruments have other advantages as well. For example, one device replaces several models at once.

It will be convenient for you to use such equipment, because it is very easy to carry it from place to place. You will have free hands, so you won't drop or break anything.

Main types of measuring equipment

Current clamps are a device, the main purpose of which is to measure electric current without breaking the electrical circuit and disrupting its functioning.

Additionally, this device is also capable of measuring voltage, frequency, temperature (in some models).

In accordance with the measured values, they are divided into ammeters, voltmeters, wattmeters, phase meters, ampervoltmeters.

The most common are clamp-on ammeters for measuring alternating current, called current clamps. With their help, you can quickly measure the current in the conductor without breaking or disconnecting the electrical circuit. Electrical clamps can be used in electrical installations up to 10000V.

Any layman knows about the purpose of many electrical appliances and tools - everyone knows why a soldering iron or an electric drill is needed. But not everyone, not even every enterprise, has clamp meters.

Despite this, current clamps are intended for widespread use, it's just that many people do not know about the existence of such a device and do not know how to use it.

Where are electrical clamps used?

Current clamps can become an indispensable tool for both household consumers and enterprises of various sizes. With their help it is possible:

  • - to determine the actual load in the network. To determine the load of a single-phase network, a measurement is made on the input cable, the resulting current value in amperes is multiplied by the voltage in the network and the cosine of the angle between the phases (cos φ). If there is no reactive load (powerful inductive elements, chokes, motors), then the last value is taken equal to one (cos φ = 1).
  • - to measure the power of various devices. If necessary, the current strength of the circuit section with the connected consumer is measured. Power is determined by the above formula.
  • - to check the functioning of metering devices for electricity consumption, for example, reconciliation of meter readings with actual consumption.

Construction and notation

Part electrical clamps any modification includes the following main parts: magnetic clamp pliers, range and function switch, display, output connectors, measurement fixation button. This article discusses current clamps of the brand matech M266.

The switch can be set to one of the positions of the measurement modes:

  1. - DCV – direct voltage;
  2. - ACV - alternating voltage;
  3. - DCA - direct current;
  4. - ACA - alternating current;
  5. - Ω - resistance;
  6. - diode icon – diode test;
  7. - signal icon - a dial tone with a buzzer.

Three input sockets of the device have overload protection. When connecting the device, the black wire of the probes is connected to the “COM” connector, and the red one to the “VΩ” connector. The third connector, labeled "EXT", is used to connect an insulation meter.

Current measurement procedure

The limit switch is set to the desired AC measurement range. Current clamps are connected to the measured conductor.

If the display shows only the value "1", then the limit switch must be set to a higher value, since an overload has occurred.

Voltage measurement procedure

Connect the red wire of the probe to the “VΩ” connector, the black one to “COM”. Set the limit switch to the position corresponding to the measured range.

Connect the probes to the measured load or voltage source. On the screen of the device, the measured voltage will be observed, as well as its polarity. If only the value "1" is observed on the screen, then the limit switch must be switched to a higher value, as an overload has occurred.

Resistance measurement procedure

The probes of the device are the same as when measuring voltage. Set the range switch to the "Ω" range. If the device is used for dialing, then the switch must be set to the appropriate position. If the resistance of the measured section of the circuit is less than 50 ohms, then the buzzer will sound.

Clamp meters - principles of operation

The operation of the simplest AC current clamps is based on the principle of a single-turn current transformer.

Its primary winding is nothing more than a wire or bus in which the current is measured. The secondary winding, which has a larger number of turns, is wound on a detachable magnetic circuit and is located in the clamps themselves. An ammeter is connected to the secondary winding.

By measuring the current that flows in the secondary winding, taking into account the known transformation ratio of the instrument transformer, it is possible to obtain the value of the current measured in the conductor.

Note that with clamp meters measuring the current (and in fact - the load) in the circuit is not at all difficult and very convenient. The measurement process itself is as follows.

The measured value is set using the knob. The tongs are opened, a conductor is passed through them, the handle is released and the tongs are closed. The further procedure for using electrical clamps is exactly the same as when handling a conventional tester.

You can connect clamps to both insulated and bare wires. Most importantly, only one bus should be covered. The indicator of the device displays the current value of the measured circuit.

Thus, if you cover the conductor and press the button, then after opening the magnetic circuit, the fixed measured reading of the device will be stored on the instrument screen.

An alternating current passes through the current-carrying part, which is covered by a magnetic circuit. An alternating magnetic flux is created in the magnetic circuit, as a result of which electromagnetic induction occurs in the secondary winding - a current begins to flow through it (secondary winding), which is measured by an ammeter.

Modern clamp meter are performed according to a scheme that combines a current transformer and a rectifier. It allows the secondary leads to be connected to the meter through a set of shunts rather than directly.

How to use clamp meters

How to measure the network load in the apartment?

The range switch is set to the ACA 200 position. Having opened the current clamps, cover the insulated wire with them at the entrance to the apartment, fix the readings that appeared on the device screen.

The resulting value is multiplied by the mains voltage of 220 V, the cosine is taken equal to one.

Example. Let's say the device shows 6A. This means that the load of the apartment network is:

P \u003d 6 220 \u003d 1320 W \u003d 1.32 kW.

Based on these data, it is possible to check the correct operation of the consumed electricity meter, compliance with the actual load of the input cable, etc.

A little measurement trick

How can a small current be measured with a clamp meter?

In order to measure clamp meters a small current strength, it is necessary to wind the wire on which you need to know the current several times on an open magnetic circuit. Set the measurement limit to the minimum value.

In order to determine the actual value of the current, it is necessary to divide the readings of the device by the number of turns of wire wound on the magnetic circuit.
