How do you check a dc ammeter?

a dc ammeter is a ammeter which has three pins and it works by two wires.


How do you measure voltage using a ammeter?

An ammeter measures amperage not voltage.


What is the importance of ammeter?

An ammeter measures current, an important variable in electronics.


To increase the range of a dc ammeter you would use a?

To increase the range of an ammeter, you connect a very low impedance resistor in parallel with the ammeter.


Why wouldn't the shunt resistor in the ammeter protect the ammeter when the ammeter is connected in parallel?

Connecting an ammeter in parallel subjects that ammeter to the full supply voltage. The shunt resistor is not designed to sustain that value of voltage and will burn out. Also, the clue is in the word 'shunt' (which means 'in parallel') which means that the coil will also burn out!
