What is used to measure the current in a series circuits?
n
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.
What is the proper placement of an ammeter in a circuit?
Ammeter should be inserted in the place where we need to find the current. Care must be taken while inserting ammeter such that it is in series always. For example if we need to measure the current through any device, we have to connect the ammeter in series with tht device.
The current in a wire is determined by what?
an ammeter can be used to measure current flow, either direct insertion type, where the circuit must be opened and the meter is inserted in series with the load, or a clamp on type.
Is an ammeter found on a series or parallel circuit?
Series. An ammeter is used to measure current, and is connected in series! There are also clamp on ammeters that use a small current transformer that is placed around a wire in the current loop in question. A small amount of current will be induced on this wire which can be read by the meter. This is not exactly in series or in parallel, but it "steals" some power from the circuit to induce in the meter, and at the same time keeps the circuit intact.
What is used to measure the current in a circuit and how is it connected?
To measure the current in the circuit an ammeter is used and it is connected in series
What is used to measure the current in a series circuits?
n
Which of these is used to measure current in series circuits?
Ammeter
Can I connect current transformer in series?
CT(Current Transformer) is used to measure current flowing in the circuit. Current can be fully drawn or sensed in series condition. That's why , it is connected in series. In parallel , the current is divided; and hence the total current cannot be measured)
What is used to measure the intensity of current flow in a circuit or branch in a circuit and is wired in series with the circuit being evaluated?
An Amp Meter
What unit of measure is used to measure current?
Ampere is the unit used to measure the current.
What is used to measure ampere?
to measure electric 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 volts ohm ampere and watts are terms associated with this?
ohm is used to measure resistance of electric current. Ampere is used to measure electric current. volt is used to measure voltage.
