You do use an ammeter in series. It has a very low resistance, which according to ohms law, makes it ideal for measuring current.
You do not use a volt meter in series, as it has a very HIGH resistance and would not allow current to flow. You measure the voltage across a component (or components), and current through a circuit.
connect ammeter in series with load.
An ammeter is used to measure current in series circuits. It is connected in series with the circuit components to measure the flow of electric current through them.
An ammeter is always connected in series in the circuit.
No. Voltmeter in parallel. Ammeter in series.

In series with a load.
An ammeter is always connected in series and a vlotmeter in parallel
When measuring a load current, an ammeter is connected in series with the load. The exception is for a clamp on style AC ammeter, which is clamped around one of the conductors, making its measurements as a transformer.
HOW TO CONNECT AN AMMETER Always connect an ammeter in SERIES in a circuit. Always ensure that the ammeter has a higher reading range than the expected current load, including start-up spikes. An ammeter expected to read a steady current of 13A should have a max range of 20A.
An ammeter is connected in series with the load to measure the current flowing through the load. By placing the ammeter in series, it becomes a part of the circuit path so that all the current flowing through the load also passes through the ammeter, allowing for an accurate measurement of the current.
