0. An ammeter is placed in series with the circuit in question; if its' internal resistance is high, it will change the current flow, thus making the measurement meaningless.
For the same reason an ideal voltage meter will have infinite resistance.
ideal ammeter has zero internal resistance
If the resistance is not zero, the ammeter will modify the very current it is supposed to measure - giving inaccurate results.
Yes.......... ideal ammeter has zero resistance.
An in-line ammeter is placed in series with the current being measured. The resistance of the meter is kept low so as not to interfere with the operation of the circuit being monitored.
ammeter connect in series in circuit to measure the current, if the Ammeter have a high resistance it would effect the voltage value because there will be a drop voltage over the internal resistance of the Ammeter, so we desgin the ammeters with very low resistance...
For protection.. Since the current prefer the short cut ..
decrease to half of its original value
An ammeter is a low voltage voltmeter in parallel with a small resistance resistor. Current flow through the resistor creates a voltage drop across it which is then measured by the voltmeter.
in voltmeter we have internal Resistance and connected in series , to current don't transfer in voltmeter , and we have internal resistance in ammeter and connected in parallel , to most current transfer through the ammeter.
Maybe blow the fuse or burn out the wiring. An ammeter has an extremely low resistance. connecting it across the resistance causes the resulting parallel resistance to be slightly lower than the resistance of the ammeter 1/Rt = 1/R + 1/R(ammeter)
An ammeter has a finite resistance which is inserted in series with the rest of the circuit, increasing the total resistance and decreasing the current. A good ammeter has a very low resistance, so it shouldn't affect the circuit noticeably.
An ammeter does not have an 'output resistance'. It's important that its resistance is low so as not to add additional resistance into the circuit to which it is connected, otherwise the 'measured current' would be lower than the actual current.
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.

By attaching a resistance in parallel connection with the galvanometer. Or when a low resistor connected in parallel with galvanometer ,the galvanometer is converted in ammeter. and the resistor is called shunt resistance.
ideal ammeter has zero internal resistance
Ammeters have a very low resistance, as to not interfere with the circuit they are measuring current in. As such if you connect a very low resistance in parallel, the component is essentially shorted. A great many ammeter fuses have been blown because of this.

if we take resistance in parallel with ammeter then the range of ammeter will change.
An ammeter has low resistance (ideally no resistance) because it is placed in series with other circuit elements to detect how much current is flowing. If it is placed in parallel with a component it will short-circuit it. That is a bad thing.
