What is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?
It measures the current.
Is an ammeter a device specially designed to measure current?
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit.
What records the amount of current used by a circuit?
An ammeter.
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.
If ammeter 1 reads 2.A what will ammeter 2 read?
If an ammeter read 2A, another ammeter would probably also read 2A. Keep in mind that every measurement involves error, and the equipment has a stated accuracy. If, for instance, the ammeter used had a 1% tolerance, than 2A actually means anywhere between 1.98A and 2.02A.
Which of these is used to measure current in series circuits?
Ammeter
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.
What is the importance of an ammeter?
ammeter is a measurement tool used to calculate the current flow in electric and electronic circuits
Name the instrument used to measure electric current?
A magnetic compass can detect current, butyou'll need an Ammeter to measure it.A galvanometer can detect current ~ butyou'll need an Ammeter to measure it.
Which instrument used to calibrate ammeter?
It is a potentiometer.
What is the device used to measure currentt?
Ammeter
What is MI in ammeter MI?
mi stands for moving iron in ammeter used only in alternating current circuits
What is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?

Is an ammeter a device specially designed to measure current?
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit.
What records the amount of current used by a circuit?
An ammeter.
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.
