Does a electric meter measure the number of protons in a current?
No, an electric meter measures the amount of electric charge passing through a circuit per unit time. The number of protons in a current is not relevant to the measurement of electricity by an electric meter.
What is the wire coming out of the electric meter?
If you have a copper wire coming out it would be a"ground." This wire is there in case there is crossed wires inside the meter. It allows the electricity to seek the shortest route to the ground through the wire instead of through something dangerous or distructive.
What is the wire that runs from the electric meter to the breaker box called?
The wire that runs from the electric meter to the breaker box is called the service entrance cable or service wire. It is responsible for carrying the electricity from the meter into your home's electrical system through the breaker box.
What is tool for measuring the intensity of electric current?
An ammeter is a tool used to measure the intensity of electric current flowing through a circuit. It is connected in series with the circuit and provides a reading in amperes (A) to indicate the amount of current passing through the circuit at a given moment.
How do you disconnect service from an electric meter box?
You do not remove the electric meter from a house. Ever. You could be electrocuted or have an explosion in front of your face, putting molten metal through you. You must call the power company and they will send a properly trained and properly safety-equipped technician to remove the meter from the house. Even the fire department is no longer authorized to "pull a meter". They would rather have your house burn down than risk the life of a firefighter making an attempt to pull the meter, even with firefighting protective equipment. Do not attempt to remove an electric meter from a house.
Does a electric meter measure the number of protons in a current?
No, an electric meter measures the amount of electric charge passing through a circuit per unit time. The number of protons in a current is not relevant to the measurement of electricity by an electric meter.
How to test for electric short?
If there is an electric short, the resistance of the circuit would be zero. So you can use an ohm meter to test it.
What is the wire coming out of the electric meter?

The main service cable entering a building is first connected to what?
It is connected to the cut out fuse which enables isolation of the circuit from the supply when there is a fault.Additional Information:The service cable is usually connected to a meter fixture and from there to the main electric panel which will have a breaker to isolate the panel.
What is tool for measuring the intensity of electric current?
An ammeter is a tool used to measure the intensity of electric current flowing through a circuit. It is connected in series with the circuit and provides a reading in amperes (A) to indicate the amount of current passing through the circuit at a given moment.
Why volt meter are attached parallel to the circuit?
Because nothing has to pass through the meter. The voltmeter is only measuring the DIFFERENCE in electric potential between two points.

Do not attempt to remove an electric meter from a house.
What are the function of ammeter?
The purpose of an ammeter is to sense and display the magnitude of the current flowing through it. When connected in series with a branch of an electrical circuit, the meter displays the magnitude (and direction) of the current in that path ... which you can't otherwise tell just by looking at the circuit.
How do electric companies know how much electric you use?
They have a meter in between their power line and your electical supply line going to your home circuit breaker panel. "Look fer it!"
Electric current is measured using what device?
ammeter, which is understood as an amp meter
What is the Point of Connection in an electric circuit?
TerminalOr...'Point of connection' refers to the interface between the utility company's equipment (main fuse, energy meter) and the consumer's equipment (supply panel).
