I don't belive you can. Ammeters just show how many amps are flowing through a particular current

What is the equipment used to measure an electrical current?
Electrical current is measured using an ammeter.
How do you measure alternative current using ac ammeter?
I think you mean 'alternating' current ('alternative' means choice). The ammeter must be inserted in series with the load, just as with direct current.
Electric current is measured using what device?
ammeter, which is understood as an amp meter
Do You measure current across a circuit?
A current flows through, not across, a circuit. And, yes, you can measure it using an ammeter.
How to measure current?
Current in a circuit can be measured by using a device called ammeter that is always connected in series in the circuit in which current is to be measured.
How do you find amperes when using a resistor?
if you want to find the current (in amperes) through the resistor then connect a ammeter in series with the resistor.
How do you measure voltage using a ammeter?
An ammeter measures amperage not voltage.
What do you use to measure an electric current?
An ammeter, either shunt or inductive. A shunt is an inline resistor of a small, known resistance. Knowing the resistance and the voltage one can calculate the amperage by Ohms law, I=V/R. An inductive, or clamp on ammeter measures the magnetic field and using more complex calculations displays the current, typically on a digital display.
What is the calibration of ammeter?
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.
Is starting current of a AC Motor measured as RMS or PEAK?
IT DEPENDS WHAT MEASURING INSTRUMENT YOU ARE USING. RMS - IF USING THE CLAMP AMMETER OR PANEL METER OSCILLOSCOPE - BOTH CAN BE READ
What happens when an ammeter is connected in parallel with a circuit?
SMOKE!!! Yiii-haaaa! An ammeter is always as low a resistance as possible. That way, the current that you measure in a circuit using the meter will be the same as if the meter were not there. So putting an ammeter in parallel with a circuit means that you just short circuited the circuit you were intending to measure. Poof! There goes your ammeter!An ammeter has a very low internal resistance. So, if it is connected in parallel with a load, it will short-out that load. The resulting high current flowing through the ammeter may severely damage the meter (and possible harm the user), although most are fitted with fuses to protect them.
How you measure current electricity?
Electric current is measured using an instrument called an ammeter. The SI unit of measurement for current is the ampere, which is defined in terms of the force between parallel, current-carrying, conductors due to the interaction of their magnetic fields.
