8.4.1 Example
In this circuit, we are going to use a 7.5 Ω resistor as a shunt, calculate the current using Ohm’s
law.
Now, we need to measure the voltage around the 7.5 Ω shunt resistor using the multimeter.
The measured voltage in this figure is 1.88 V DC.
Using Ohm’s law “ “
𝑉 = 𝐼 · 𝑅
1. 88 𝑉 = 𝐼 · 7. 5 Ω
𝐼 =
1.88 𝑉
7.5 Ω
= 0. 251 𝐴 = 251 𝑚𝐴
