How should a ammeter and voltmeter be connected in circuit?

Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.


When an ammeter is connected in a circuit which terminal of the battery must be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter?

The positive terminal of the battery would be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter. The load would then be connected between the two negative terminals, positive side of the load being connected to the negative side of the ammeter.


How can an ammeter be connected in a circuit and not effect the flow of current?

The ammeter does affect the flow of current in a circuit, however, the resistance of the ammeter is so small in comparison to the circuit that the effect is negligible. It is connected in series.


How is an ammeter connected in a circuit?

Series connect it within the line of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.More detailSince we measure the flow of current IN the circuit, the ammeter must be connected in series with the part of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.One of the ammeter's terminals must be connected to a point of the incoming current flow and its second terminal must be connected to the point of on-going current flow. To do this, cut the relevant circuit wire and connect one terminal of the ammeter to each end of the cut.


What happen when ammeter connected in parallel?

an ideal ammeter has zero or negligible resistance when this is connected in series no effective resistance would be added in the circuit so that the value of curret that we get is exactly of the circuit only. but when the ammeter is connected in parllel as it has zero resistance , the resistor to which it is connected in parllel gets shorted and due to his the effective resistance of the circuit is changed and so the effective current ... due to this the w=value measured by the ammeter would be different (incresed due to dec. in effective resistance)


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


Which circuit the ammeter connected in parallel?

An ammeter is always connected in series and a vlotmeter in parallel


Why should ammeter still be connected in a series despite the fact that the bulbs are already connected in parallel?

Because the ammeter connected in parallel will act as a short circuit.


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.


How is ammeter and voltmeter attached to a circuit?

Ammeters are connected in series with the load under test. This requires the load be disconnected from the source, and the ammeter placed in circuit. Voltmeters are connected in parallel with the load under test. This does not require any circuit changes. Sorry, but WikiAnswers does not support illustrations.


What is the function of ammeter?
