An ammeter is a low voltage voltmeter in parallel with a small resistance resistor. Current flow through the resistor creates a voltage drop across it which is then measured by the voltmeter.

High resistance in parallel connected with galvanometer to form voltmeter?
That won't work. To convert an ammeter (a galvanometer is a very sensitive type of ammeter) you connect a high value resistor in series with it.
How do you check a dc ammeter?
a dc ammeter is a ammeter which has three pins and it works by two wires.
Can you use ac ammeter to measure dc current?
It depends. If it's an inductive ammeter (the kind that clamps around a wire), it won't work at all. If it is the type of ammeter that is actually placed in the circuit, it will work but it won't be accurate.CommentActually, modern 'clamp on' ammeters WILL measure d.c. currents. It uses the Hall Effect to measure the current.
What is the importance of ammeter?
An ammeter measures current, an important variable in electronics.
How do you measure voltage using a ammeter?
An ammeter measures amperage not voltage.
Why is it important to connect the positive lead of the ammeter to the positive side of the battery?
The ammeter will only read when connected properly. If the meter is connected backwards, then the meter reads the wrong way. If it is a digital ammeter then it may not work at all.
Where would you put an ammeter in a circuit?
in a series circuit or it will not work. Put it after the bulb
How range of a ammeter is extended?
if we take resistance in parallel with ammeter then the range of ammeter will change.

What is an ideal ammeter?
an ideal ammeter will have zero resistance
How you connect an ammeter to a circuit?
How do you connect an ammeter to a circuit?
How do you connect a ammeter into a circuit?
connect ammeter in series with load.
Which of these is used to measure current in series circuits?
Ammeter
