calibration of an ammeter is done in order to standardise the instrument,and rectify the errors present in the instrument, if any.
An ammeter should not be used as a voltmeter. An ammeter is a low impedance device that measures the current going through a circuit, often by measuring the small voltage across a known resistance. A voltmeter is a high impedance device that measures the voltage across a circuit. If you were to connect an ammeter as if it were a voltmeter, you would effectively short out the circuit, drastically affecting its operation, and potentially damaging both the circuit and the ammeter.
Wattmeters are used for the measurement of dielectric power loss. It is also useful for the calibration of commercial forms of wattmeter and watt-hour meter in laboratories.
Zero error in an ammeter occurs when the needle on the display does not point to zero when there is no current passing through it. This can happen due to manufacturing defects or calibration issues. Zero error needs to be accounted for and corrected to ensure accurate measurements.
if we take resistance in parallel with ammeter then the range of ammeter will change.

An Ammeter and a brick is a brick.
a dc ammeter is a ammeter which has three pins and it works by two wires.
How do you connect an ammeter to a circuit?
connect ammeter in series with load.
dc ammeter has three connecting pins while ac has four
An ammeter measures amperage not voltage.
An ammeter, or multimeter (which includes an ammeter setting).
