Ammeter should be inserted in the place where we need to find the current. Care must be taken while inserting ammeter such that it is in series always. For example if we need to measure the current through any device, we have to connect the ammeter in series with tht device.

What is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?
It measures the current.
What happen if you change the position of ammeter in the circuit in parallel and series?
-- In a series circuit, no matter where you install the ammeter, it will always read the same current. -- In a parallel circuit, the ammeter may read a different current when it's moved to a different parallel branch.
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.
Why do you only need one ammeter in a circuit?
An ammeter is a amp meter put into a circuit in series. There is virtually no voltage drop or resistance in an ammeter so two in series would be redundant. If you have one in a circuit it will tell you the amps that circuit is generating, two would both give virtually the same result.
What records the amount of current used by a circuit?
An ammeter.
How you connect an ammeter to a circuit?
How do you connect an ammeter to a circuit?
How would a ammeter be connected in a circuit?
An ammeter is always connected in series in the circuit.
What does a ammeter do in a circuit?
An ammeter measured how many amperes of current are flowing in an electrical circuit.
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 do you connect a ammeter into a circuit?
connect ammeter in series with load.
What job does the ammeter do in the circuit?
The ammeter measures the amount of current in a circuit.
How should a ammeter and voltmeter be connected in circuit?
Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
Describe the proper placement of a voltmeter in a circuit?
A voltmeter should be connected in a parallel connection
How can an ammeter be connected in a circuit and not effect the flow of current?
The ammeter does affect the flow of current in a circuit, however, the resistance of the ammeter is so small in comparison to the circuit that the effect is negligible. It is connected in series.
How is an ammeter connected in a circuit?
Series connect it within the line of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.More detailSince we measure the flow of current IN the circuit, the ammeter must be connected in series with the part of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.One of the ammeter's terminals must be connected to a point of the incoming current flow and its second terminal must be connected to the point of on-going current flow. To do this, cut the relevant circuit wire and connect one terminal of the ammeter to each end of the cut.
What is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?
It measures the current.
What does an Ammeter do in a series circuit?
To measure current in circuit
