The voltage remains the same across the circuit as it is a parallel connection. So, the current across the upper half of the circuit where the ammeter is connected is calculated as I = V/R = 12.04 (total voltage)/12 (Resistance R1) = 1 A. Hence, the ammeter will read 1 A.

What will happen to the ammeter reading if the resistance is increased?

The current decreases due to I=V/R. The ammeter reading will decrease as R is increased.

Will the rusting of nails in a sodium chloride - water solution effect the reading off a voltmeter or ammeter?

An ammeter or a voltmeter gives the reading of the flow of current, which is due to the movements of ions. When a rusted nail is immersed in the solution it will add the no of ions into the solution. This will increase the ion concentration and therefore will change the reading of a voltmeter and ammeter.


What happens to the ammeter reading when a lamp is added to a circuit which contains two cells and a lamp in series?

Assuming the new lamp is in series, the ammeter reading falls because the total resistance has increased. By how much depends on how the lamp resistance depends on voltage. If the lamp is added in parallel to the first, then the ammeter reading doubles.


What does the reading on a ammeter say when the switch is open?

An open switch in a circuit will stop all current flow so the ammeter should read zero amps.


What does it mean when the ammeter reading v?

v on a ammeterusually means Volts


What will the decrease of the light intensity on an LDR do to the ammeter reading?

The decrease of light intensity on an LDR will cause the resistance of the LDR to increase, which will result in a decrease in current flow through the circuit. As a result, the ammeter reading will decrease.


How do you measure the value of the amplitude of an electric current?

The value of the amplitude of an electric current is measured in amperes (A) using a tool called an ammeter. The ammeter is connected in series with the circuit to measure the flow of current. The reading on the ammeter displays the amplitude value of the current.


How is an ammeter connected to reduce frequency errors?

Connecting an ammeter does not reduce the frequency errors.


How is the ammeter reading when the magnet is pushed slowly into the coil?

You have to do the experiment you have been asked to do to find out.


How much current goes into the bulb if ammeter reading is 0.4?

The answer to this depends on where the ammeter is in the circuit. Assuming the ammeter is in series with the bulb and no other objects are attached, then the current is 0.4 Amps. Otherwise, your question is unanswerable without more information.


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.
