It measures current by creating a coil around the current carrying wire. Current flowing in the wire induces a current in the amp-meter proportional to the current flowing in the wire.

How range of a ammeter is extended?
if we take resistance in parallel with ammeter then the range of ammeter will change.
What is the difference between ac ammeter and dc ammeter?
dc ammeter has three connecting pins while ac has four
Which has higher resistance an ammeter or micro ammeter?
Micro ammeter has higher resistance. use ohm's law.. Say the voltage applied is 1 V. then for the ammeter.. I=1A, V=1V R=1 ohm for the micro ammeter.. I=0.000001, V=1V R=1000000 ohms
What is ammeter used for?
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.
What is the value of the smallest division on an ammeter scale?
what is the value of the smallest division on a ammeter
What do you use to measure an electric current?
An ammeter, either shunt or inductive. A shunt is an inline resistor of a small, known resistance. Knowing the resistance and the voltage one can calculate the amperage by Ohms law, I=V/R. An inductive, or clamp on ammeter measures the magnetic field and using more complex calculations displays the current, typically on a digital display.
Can you use ac ammeter to measure dc current?
It depends. If it's an inductive ammeter (the kind that clamps around a wire), it won't work at all. If it is the type of ammeter that is actually placed in the circuit, it will work but it won't be accurate.CommentActually, modern 'clamp on' ammeters WILL measure d.c. currents. It uses the Hall Effect to measure the current.
How range of a ammeter is extended?
if we take resistance in parallel with ammeter then the range of ammeter will change.
What is a ammeter on Mars?
An Ammeter and a brick is a brick.
What are the parts of an ammeter?
ammeter real picture
How do you check a dc ammeter?
a dc ammeter is a ammeter which has three pins and it works by two wires.
What is an ideal ammeter?
an ideal ammeter will have zero resistance
How you connect an ammeter to a circuit?
How do you connect an ammeter to a circuit?
What is inductive procedure?
inductive appeal
How do you connect a ammeter into a circuit?
connect ammeter in series with load.
Which of these is used to measure current in series circuits?
Ammeter
What is the difference between ac ammeter and dc ammeter?
dc ammeter has three connecting pins while ac has four
