1. A appliance used to measure electric power or for measuring the strength of an electric current by the magnetic force it induces in a coil.
2. An instrument that measures electric current by indicating the level of magnetic attraction or repulsion between a fixed and a movable coil, one of which carries the current to be measured.
3. A two-coil measuring instrument which measures the torque resulting from the reaction between the two series-connected current-carrying coils balanced by a spiral spring.
4. A tool for measuring electric current, activated by the torque resulting from the reaction of two current-carrying coils in a series.
