Explain how a amp probe works?

An amp probe, also known as a clamp meter or current clamp, measures electrical current without the need to disconnect the circuit. It works by sensing the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through a conductor when the probe's jaws are clamped around it. The device converts this magnetic field into a readable electrical signal, which is displayed as a current measurement, typically in amperes. This non-invasive method allows for safe and efficient monitoring of current in live electrical systems.
