No, an ammeter should never be placed in parallel with a component - it should always be placed in series, so that the current through the component is measured.
If you place an ammeter in parallel with a component, you create a short circuit around the component. Depending on the rest of the circuit, you could damage the circuit, damage the ammeter, create a fire, etc. You certainly will affect the current through the component, and that is not what you want to accomplish.
Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
Because its function is to measure the current, i.e. the amount of electrical flow in the circuit, and this require that the current flows through the ammeter A good ammeter has very low series resistance, so connecting it in series will not affect your circuit. Be careful when using an ammeter , because of its very low resistance , it can cause a short circuit if you use it by mistake to measure "voltage", so avoid connecting it in Parallel.
Swap the two wires connected to the Ammeter
An Ammeter connects a low impedance on the test points, so the equivalent of that is a "short circuit" between the test points. This is done to avoid a drop of current on the tested circuit. A Voltmeter connects a high impedance on the test points, so the equivalent of that is a "open circuit" between the test points. This is done to avoid a drop of voltage on the tested circuit. --------- In terms of external connections Ammeter (used to measure current) is connected in series of the circuit (through which the current flow need to be measured) and voltmeter (used to measure voltage) is connected in parallel to points in circuit (across which voltage needs to be measured).

Because the ammeter connected in parallel will act as a short circuit.
An ammeter is connected in series. A voltmeter is connected in parallel. ammeter should always be connected in series instead of parallel becoz it is a low resistance device and we know that resistance is inversly proportional to current so more current will pass through it and if it is connected in parallel than it may get damaged
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.
An ammeter must be connected in parallel to the circuit. If you do not understand the difference between parallel and series connection then you should leave it to a competent mechanic/electrician.
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
Voltmeter should be connected always in parallel to a circuit ANSWER : IT should be in parallel except when used to measure current. Then it should be placed in series across a shunt.
Since voltage is electrical potential difference, to measure the voltage across a component, you place the voltmeter across, or in parallel with, the component.

The Positive side of the Ammeter should be connected to the positive side of the battery and the Negative side should be connected to the Globe/Conductor/Insulator to provide a valid reading.
