an ampmeter.
Most DVM's have them, or you can use a clamp on style.

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 is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?
It measures the current.
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.
Does an ammeter measure current?
An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing through an electrical circuit. It measures amperage.
What is the function of a summation current transformer?
Current transformers are used to measure electric currents. When current in a circuit is too high to directly apply to measuring instruments, a current transformer produces a reduced current accurately proportional to the current in the circuit, which can be conveniently connected to measuring and recording instruments.
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
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 is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?
It measures the current.
Why would another component effect the electrical current in a series circuit?
All the components in a circuit have a potential effect on the total current used by the circuit. You have to be more specific to get a more precise answer.
Which instrument would be used to measure current flowing in a circuit?
"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 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
A component used to protect an led in a circuit?
you could use a current limiting diode such as a Zenner, or a current limiting resistor in series with the LED
Should a Voltmeter always be connected in a series with a component?
Voltmeter should be connected always in parallel to a circuit ANSWER : IT should be in parallel except when used to measure current. Then it should be placed in series across a shunt.
What is used of galvanometer?
To measure small amounts of current in a circuit, it is utilized with the motor effect.
What is an electronic component used for?
An electronic component is simply used to resist the flow of a certain current. In theory, it is connected to a circuit board and includes those resistors, capacitors, and transistors.
