One measurement should be assigned at a time, and the reason for each measurement should be given.
In general, measurement by direct comparison with a standard unit is discarded for the more indirect method of measuring not the current itself, but its chemical, mechanical, or magnetic effect.
The measurement will be exact if the thing against which we weigh or counterbalance the current itself retains its original standard value.

The visual discrimination method, which proved invaluable as a means of measuring the rapidity of habit formation, proved equally serviceable in the measurement of the permanency or duration of habits.
The nearest approach that it is possible for me to make to such an objective measurement is a statement of the composition and thickness of the filters and of the candle-meter value of the light when it entered the filter.
Measurement of volume (amounts of grain in cylindrical and rectangular spaces of different dimensions and vice versa).
More purely scientific in character are Mendeljeff's discovery of the periodic law in chemistry, the molecular theory of matter, the direct measurement of the velocity of light, and the remarkable utility of floating dust in meteorology.

He interested himself largely in expeditions for the observation of eclipses and in projects for the measurement of arcs on the earth.
South and John Herschel worked together for two years in the observation and measurement of the double stars discovered by Sir William Herschel.
The first systematic piece of practical astronomical work which John Herschel undertook was connected with the measurement of what are known as "Double Stars.
For the measurement of large currents a "tangent galvanometer" is employed (fig.
The Einthoven string galvanometer is another form of sensitive instrument for the measurement of small direct currents.
To settle this question once for all the Academy of Sciences decided to make the actual measurement of the length of two degrees, one as near the pole as possible, the other at the equator.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "measurement" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
