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.

When measuring with an ammeter the ammeter must be connected in?

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 would you connect an ammeter if you want to measure the current coming through some device in a circuit?

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.


Why is ammeter connected in series with the load?

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.
