An ammeter should not be used as a voltmeter. An ammeter is a low impedance device that measures the current going through a circuit, often by measuring the small voltage across a known resistance. A voltmeter is a high impedance device that measures the voltage across a circuit. If you were to connect an ammeter as if it were a voltmeter, you would effectively short out the circuit, drastically affecting its operation, and potentially damaging both the circuit and the ammeter.

What are the kinds of ammeter?
The ammeter is a device that measures the electric current. Hot wire, electrostatic, moving iron, moving coil, and induction are the kinds of ammeter.
How would you connect an ammeter if you want to measure the current coming through some device in a circuit?
HOW TO CONNECT AN AMMETER Always connect an ammeter in SERIES in a circuit. Always ensure that the ammeter has a higher reading range than the expected current load, including start-up spikes. An ammeter expected to read a steady current of 13A should have a max range of 20A.
What is a micro voltmeter?
A microvoltmeter is a type of voltmeter with special calibration. This special calibration allows it to show the values of voltages in microvolts.
What is a calibration knob?
A Calibration Knob is a device that allows you to optimise something; for example, a Temperature Knob, Temperature Oven, Safe, and a Lock
What is the name of the meter that is used to measure current?
Electrical current is measured with an "ammeter". (The unit of current is "ampere". Measure it with an 'ampere-meter' ==> 'amp-meter' ==> 'ammeter'.)
What is the calibration of an ammeter?
calibration of an ammeter is done in order to standardise the instrument,and rectify the errors present in the instrument, if any.
What is working principle ammeter?
Wattmeters are used for the measurement of dielectric power loss. It is also useful for the calibration of commercial forms of wattmeter and watt-hour meter in laboratories.
How range of a ammeter is extended?
if we take resistance in parallel with ammeter then the range of ammeter will change.
