pressure coil or voltage coil across the supply and the current coil in series.
Besides not dropping it, you prevent damage to a multimeter by never connecting it to a circuit that it is not intended to measure. Two examples... If you are in a 0.6 milliamp range you would not want to connect the meter to a 6,000 volt focus pin in a television set. If you are in ohms mode, you would not want to connect the meter to a circuit that has voltage present.
Just connect a resistor and a small battery in series with the galvanometer,change the markings on the meter's scale, and you have an ohmmeter.
If the circuit is carrying current then that means that the load (resistance) is in the circuit. if an ohm meter is connected in the live circuit then there would be some voltage drop at the ohm meter but as the meter has very less resistance, this would damage the instrument.
An Ohmmeter.
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.
Batteries store potential energy, But after you connect it to the circuit then it converts to KINETIC ENERGY!
A power meter measures energy consumption by monitoring the flow of electricity through a circuit. It calculates energy usage by multiplying the voltage and current passing through the circuit. This allows for an accurate measurement of energy consumption in real-time.
How do you connect an ammeter to a circuit?
polarity is of major importance in dicect current circuits. <<>> When using meters please remember that a volt meter does not connect into a circuit, the leads are placed across the component that you are measuring. It is an amp meter that connects into the circuit, becoming part of the circuit, to measure the current flowing through that circuit.

It is connected across the hot and neutral if it's voltage is 120 volts. There are two terminals on the back of a panel mount frequency meter. Line voltage to one terminal and the neutral wire to the other terminal. The working voltage will be on the meter's nameplate which is usually located on the side of the device.
It is used to break the circuit (off) or connect it (on), with the choice under your control. Breaking the circuit will protect a person from getting shocks while connecting the circuit allows appliances to convert that energy to heat, light, kinetic or sound energy.
Just connect a resistor and a small battery in series with the galvanometer,change the markings on the meter's scale, and you have an ohmmeter.
If the energy meter is connected in the common outlet circuit, it would record the energy flow from both the sources. If you want to record the energy from two different sources separately, then you need to provide two different meters in each circuit.
A metre is the basic SI unit of length, but is often misspelt as 'meter'. A meter might refer to either a measuring device, e.g. a Volt meter measures the energy possesed by the current in a current in a circuit.
A volt can not be connected to a circuit.
A multimeter, often referred to as a "colomb meter" in some contexts, can measure voltage (volts) and resistance (ohms) among other electrical parameters. To measure voltage, you set the multimeter to the voltage setting and connect the probes across the component or circuit. For measuring resistance, you switch to the ohms setting and connect the probes to the resistor or circuit section. Always ensure the circuit is powered off when measuring resistance to avoid damage to the multimeter.
