An ammeter either directly, or via a current transformer, is used to measure current in a circuit.
Current Transformers (CTs) are necessary when either (1) you need to measure the large currents flowing in high-voltagesystems (a CT will isolate the HV system from the ammeter to which it is connected, as well as reduce the value of the HV current) or (2) you need to reduce the very large currents to be measured in medium-voltage systems.

Is an ammeter a device specially designed to measure current?
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit.
What is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?
It measures the current.
What are the function of ammeter?
The purpose of an ammeter is to sense and display the magnitude of the current flowing through it. When connected in series with a branch of an electrical circuit, the meter displays the magnitude (and direction) of the current in that path ... which you can't otherwise tell just by looking at the circuit.
How short circuit current measure?
In shortg circuit current is infinitive.
Which instrument do you use to measure the flow of current in a circuit?
To measure current you will need an ammeter.
What is used to measure the current in a circuit and how is it connected?
To measure the current in the circuit an ammeter is used and it is connected in series

What is ammeter used for?
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.
How short circuit current measure?
In shortg circuit current is infinitive.
What is used to measure the intensity of current flow in a circuit or branch in a circuit and is wired in series with the circuit being evaluated?
An Amp Meter
Do You measure current across a circuit?
A current flows through, not across, a circuit. And, yes, you can measure it using an ammeter.
What does an Ammeter do in a series circuit?
To measure current in circuit
What is used of galvanometer?
To measure small amounts of current in a circuit, it is utilized with the motor effect.
Which instrument do you use to measure the flow of current in a circuit?
To measure current you will need an ammeter.
