| Why no Farad or Henry meter? |

We have Volt meters, Amp meters, Ohm meters, why no Farad nor Henry meters?? Best, |

My multimeter has a capacitance meter... and I have an LCR meter in a storage box somewhere that can do henries, though it can't quite do farads (max 100mF). So they do exist... |
| mawyatt:
So why don't we call a meter that measures capacitance a Farad Meter (or uFarad meter), or a meter that measures inductance a Henry Meter (or uHenry meter)? We also call a meter that measures power a Watt meter??? Best, |
| iMo:
Henry? - because there is the Henry Repeating Arms.. :D (a firearms manufacturing company) |
| JohanH:
You don't actually measure units. You measure a physical quantity and the result is designated with a unit. It would be better if it was called a current meter, voltage meter, resistance meter, capacitance meter etc. |
