Wireless 5V Voltage & Current Sensor

Order No. 1131

This Voltage and Current Sensor can measure both potential and electric current (A.C. and D.C.) at lower voltage (higher resolution) than the 20V Voltage and Current Sensor (1130). Equipped with independent input sockets, both voltage and current values are available simultaneously. It is ideally suited for investigations – such as Ohm’s law or induction in a coil. With high resolution time response, this sensor is a valuable addition for both physics and electronics.

  • Voltage and current measurement 
  • Good resolution and response time
  • Dedicated, independent, 4 mm connection sockets 
  • Rugged compact and portable design
  • Bluetooth and USB connectivity
  • Long battery life
  • Quick to use inside the classroom
  • Independent logging
  • 5 Year warranty
  • Lifetime support

REPEATABLE INVESTIGATIONS

The input sockets allow connection to most available electronics kits and school-based power supplies (4 mm).

Simultaneous measurement of voltage and current through EasySense software reduces experimental setup time.

Connected to EasySense software, new concepts – such as resistance to impedance, current and charge relationships are available. With the high resolution and time response, school electrical and electronics experiments become easy to do.

Easy to connect to EasySense software, direct feedback means time is minimised in to set up.

The 1131 sensor philosophy is in common with the 1130, so extending studies to look at circuit power delivery becomes seamless.
