Si on veut mesurer un courant de 3000 milliampères avec un ampèremètre gradué en ampères, quelle lecture obtiendra-t-on?

  1. A3 ampères
  2. B0,003 ampère
  3. C0,3 ampère
  4. D0,03 ampère

Correct answer: A — 3 ampères. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

The meter shows 3 amperes because "milli" means one thousandth, so you must divide 3000 by 1000 to convert milliamperes to amperes. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
