How should a ammeter and voltmeter be connected in circuit?

Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.


Why do you have specific resistance combination inside a voltmeter and an ammeter Explain?

in voltmeter we have internal Resistance and connected in series , to current don't transfer in voltmeter , and we have internal resistance in ammeter and connected in parallel , to most current transfer through the ammeter.


How do you connect an ammeter and voltmeter?

To connect an ammeter, you must place it in series with the circuit so that the current flows through the ammeter. To connect a voltmeter, you must place it in parallel with the component you are measuring the voltage across. Make sure to set the ammeter and voltmeter to the proper range before connecting them.


Compare how an ammeter and voltmeter are connected in a circuithow are they different?

ammeter connected sereal. internal resestance very low volt meter connected parrel. high internal resestance.


What happens if an ammeter is connected in parallel and voltmeter connected in series in a circuit?

The voltmeter will register the volts, the ammeter will either explode or blow a fuse since it has a very low resistance and is designed to be used in series to measure the current flowing through it.


How is ammeter and voltmeter attached to a circuit?

Ammeters are connected in series with the load under test. This requires the load be disconnected from the source, and the ammeter placed in circuit. Voltmeters are connected in parallel with the load under test. This does not require any circuit changes. Sorry, but WikiAnswers does not support illustrations.


The rules of connecting voltmeter and ammeters in the circuit?

Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit


Where must a voltmeter be placed in a circuit?

One does NOT insert a voltmeter in a series cirtcuit...an ammeter can be inserted in series, though. A voltmeter is connected in parallel with the source voltage and low(ground) side.


Voltmeter in series?

No. Voltmeter in parallel. Ammeter in series.


How can you say that ammeter measures current and voltmeter measures voltage?

voltmeter in parallel and ammeter in series of a circuit.


What would happen if a voltmeter were substituted for an ammeter?

Smoke. Since a voltmeter is in parallel with the load it is right across the source voltage. Putting the amp meter across the line with its low resistance it will act like a fuse, hence the smoke. Newer solid state testers are usually smarter that the operators. They have built in circuitry which sense the wrong settings you are using and shut the tester off with a "beep" to let you know that you are doing something wrong.


Why does voltmeter measure current more accurately than an ammeter?

A voltmeter does not measure current, it measures voltage in units named volts. An ammeter measures current in units named amperes or amps in common shorthand. A voltmeter is connected in parallel to the circuit being measured, whereas an ammeter is connected in series with the circuit being measured.
