Classification of Sedimentary Rocks (Part 1). Sedimentary rocks are classified based on their texture and composition. Detrital sediment has a clastic (broken) texture. Chemical and organic sediments have a non-clastic texture, and are classified based solely on their composition.
Galvanometer vs Ammeter. Ammeter and galvanometer are two devices that are used in the field of electronic and electrical measurements. Galvanometer is a very important device that is used to develop other measuring devices. It is also used to measure electrical currents. Ammeter is also a device that is used to measure electrical current.
To measure larger currents, a resistor called a shunt is placed in parallel with the meter. The resistances of shunts is in the integer to fractional milliohm range. Nearly all of the current flows through the shunt, and only a small fraction flows through the meter.This allows the meter to measure large currents.ince the ammeter shunt has a very low resistance, mistakenly wiring the ammeter in parallel with a voltage source will cause a short circuit, at best blowing a fuse, possibly damaging the instrument and wiring, and exposing an observer to injury.
