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.
How is the reading on an ammeter be affected when one of the parallel resistors is removed?
decrease to half of its original value
If you want to measure a current greater than the full scale deflection of the constructed ammeter in this case should the resistance in parallel with the galvanometer be increased or decreased?
A: the resistance should be decreased to 1/2 its value for half scale reading or use any ratio [ decrease] to obtain a correct reading.
How do you measure the circulating current in 3 phase parallel system?
The clamp on amp meter has to go around both of the parallel conductors to get an accurate reading of the line current. If you are using a current transformer, both wires have to go through the centre hole in the transformer.
What happens when an ammeter is connected in parallel?
It would be equivalent to adding a high value resistor (>10M ohms) in series in the circuit. Voltmeters typically present a high internal impedance so as to not change the current flow in the circuit you are tying to measure. the circuit wont work the voltmeter only takes a voltage reading power does not actually pass through the meter sometimes it can be used to measure very low leakage current using the hi impedance of the meter. EXAMPLE leakage offset from an amplifier. it could be into the nanoamps.

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.

A: the resistance should be decreased to 1/2 its value for half scale reading or use any ratio [ decrease] to obtain a correct reading.
How do you calculate the ammeter reading?
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.
The rules of connecting voltmeter and ammeters in the circuit?
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
Why should a millimeter have a low resistance?
An ammeter is placed in series with a circuit in order to measure the current. If it has any appreciable resistance, inserting the ammeter will increase the normal resistance of the circuit and reduce the value of the current flowing through it. The ammeter will, therefore, give an inaccurate reading (under-read). So the ammeter must have a very low resistance so that it has the minimum effect on the normal resistance of the circuit being tested. Ideally, the ammeter should have zero resistance but, of course, this is impossible.
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.
What is ammeter sensitivity?
Ammeter sensitivity can be determined by a change of scale for the ammeter which would introduce higher or lower resistance values depending on the reading required. A higher sensitivity for lower values of ampacity would require higher resistance in the measuring circuitry. Use Ohm's law to verify.
As you add more lamps to a parallel circuit what will the ammeter reading do?
If the amp meter is in series ahead of the first parallel branch of lamps the meter will read an increase in current.
How can an ammeter loading effect the circuit under test?
Since internal resistance of the ameter will increases the resistance of the circuit. Thus decreasing the current giving an errorenous reading.
Why it is essential for voltmeters to have a very high resistance?
if the resistance of the meter is low that will act as a parallel load effecting the reading. If the meter can be made with infinite resistance then the meter will not effects the actual reading.
