Alternating current can not be measured ...

Alternating current can not be measured by D.C. Ammeter because

A

A.C. cannot pass through D.C. ammeter

B

A.C. changes direction

C

average value of current for complete cycle is zero

D

D.C. anmeter will get damaged

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Average value of A.C. for complete cycle is zero. Hence A.C. can nol be measured by D.C. ammeter.
