When measuring a load current, an ammeter is connected in series with the load. The exception is for a clamp on style AC ammeter, which is clamped around one of the conductors, making its measurements as a transformer.

Why there must be two wires connected to an ammeter?
Two.
How should a ammeter and voltmeter be connected in series?
no. you want to measure across the desired circuit segment. whether you are measuring voltage drop or 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.
Which circuit the ammeter connected in parallel?
An ammeter is always connected in series and a vlotmeter in parallel
What is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?
It measures the current.
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.
How must an ammeter be connected with respect to a device?
in series
Why there must be two wires connected to an ammeter?
Two.
When an ammeter is connected in a circuit which terminal of the battery must be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter?
The positive terminal of the battery would be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter. The load would then be connected between the two negative terminals, positive side of the load being connected to the negative side of the ammeter.
What is the function of ammeter?
measures current in a circuit, must be series connected
How are current transformers connected?
The CT's primary is inserted in series with the load. It's secondary is connected directly to the burden (e.g. ammeter). If used together with a VT (PT) for the purpose of measuring power or energy, then its polarity markings must be observed.
How would a ammeter be connected in a circuit?
An ammeter is always connected in series in the circuit.
How do you connect an ammeter and voltmeter?
The voltmeter is connected across the supply and the ammeter is connected in series with the supply.
What must an ammeter be connected to?
To a very small resistance so a mv can be measured as a function of amperes.
How should a ammeter and voltmeter be connected in circuit?
Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
How do you disconnect ammeter from current transformer?
A CT's secondary winding must never be open circuited as it may provide a shock hazard to the user. The terminals to which an ammeter is connected to a CT is normally provided with a set of links that must be closed, short-circuiting the CT, beforethe ammeter can be removed. The ammeter must the be reinstalled before the shorting links are reopened.
