To measure amperage output to see if an alternator is charging or not .
An ammeter measures the electrical current in something. A digital one is calibrated to display through the shunt and convert information from the analog model.
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 commonly used to detect electron flow in a circuit. The ammeter measures the amount of current (flow of electrons) passing through a specific point in the circuit.
It is a potentiometer.
Ammeter
It measures the current.
mi stands for moving iron in ammeter used only in alternating current circuits
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit.
A galvanometer is a device used to detect small electric currents, while an ammeter is a device used to measure the strength of electric currents. The main difference is that a galvanometer is more sensitive and used for detecting small currents, while an ammeter is used for measuring larger currents.
If an ammeter is placed in parallel with a a load on a circuit, the circuit can short out as the ammeter takes the place of the load, flowing freely through the meter. Never measure across a resister or other electronic load with an ammeter. Remember, ammeters are used in series while voltmeters are used in parallel.

The purpose of an ammeter is to sense and display the magnitude of the current flowing through it. When connected in series with a branch of an electrical circuit, the meter displays the magnitude (and direction) of the current in that path ... which you can't otherwise tell just by looking at the circuit.
