Measures current by magnetic field induced into the clamp. You need to clamp a single conductor. For example you couldn't just clamp a lamp cord since it has two conductors and the current is going in opposite directions and the fields cancel each other out.
A clamp-on ammeter does not measure current by capacitance. It forms a current transformer that operates by inductance. The clamp-on part is the magnetic core of the transformer. There is another winding inside that is coupled by the core to the line that is being measured. This second winding is shorted and the device reads the current through that winding. The current is proportional to turns ratio.
An ammeter measures amperage not voltage.
An ammeter measures current, an important variable in electronics.
You measure it with a clamp-on ammeter.
ammeter
Current flow
An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing through an electrical circuit. It measures amperage.
No, it will only measure the current through a single phase.

An ammeter measures the electrical current in something. A digital one is calibrated to display through the shunt and convert information from the analog model.
voltmeter in parallel and ammeter in series of a circuit.
The ammeter measures the amount of current in a circuit.
An ammeter, or multimeter (which includes an ammeter setting).
An ammeter measures current, an important variable in electronics.
An ammeter measures amperage not voltage.
