Ammeters must always be placed in series in a circuit, otherwise they will not work babes :)

Where is the best place to put an ammeter in the circuit to measure the current going through the light bulb?
Since (by Kirchoff's current law) the current in a series circuit is the same at every point in the series circuit, it does not matter where you place the ammeter.
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.
When measuring current always place any type of meter in?
No. When measuring current, use an ammeter and place it in series in the 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 you connect an ammeter to a circuit?
How do you connect an ammeter to a circuit?
Where ammeter and voltmeter are put in circuit?
Place in parallel anywhere in the circuit. One lead goes to the hot, the other to the neutral.
What happen when a ammeter is placed in parallel with the circuit?
If an ammeter is placed in parallel with a a load on a circuit, the circuit can short out as the ammeter takes the place of the load, flowing freely through the meter. Never measure across a resister or other electronic load with an ammeter. Remember, ammeters are used in series while voltmeters are used in parallel.
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.
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.
