because lots of current is likely to be flowing through them.
however a shunt ammeter is easier to build than the direct ammeter as described above. in a shunt ammeter you use an ordinary meter wound with fine wire and put a small value shunt resistor across it to take almost all the current.

What is the standard wire gauge of the windings of a ceiling fan?
It could be anywhere from 36 to 48SWG
What does a inductive ammeter do?
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.
Symbols of the electric circuit?
there is a symbol of bulb,galvanometer,voltmeter,ammeter,gong,paperclip,switch,wire,solenoid,bulb and armature
How is an ammeter connected in a circuit?
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.
What is the thick wire called which goes along the electricity?
as far as i know it doesent have a name!!
Can ammeter be connected in neutral wire?
No, your live (brown) cable takes the load and pulls the amps from the supply, not the neutral. Your ammeter should be clipped on the live to get a correct reading.
How do you wire in the ammeter on a battery charger?
In series
What are the kinds of ammeter?
The ammeter is a device that measures the electric current. Hot wire, electrostatic, moving iron, moving coil, and induction are the kinds of ammeter.
Where is magnet wire used?
Windings for motors.
How thick should the ford galaxies aux port wire should be?
it should be 25 inches
How do you wire a mooneyes ammeter gauge?
in a series battery, alternator, ignition
What type of wire should you use as a probe in invisible broken wire detector?
Thick copper cable-15mm
How to wire and amp down to 0.3 ohms?
You can wire and amp down to 0.3 ohms by decreasing its windings.
How are the windings of an induction motor made?
The windings of magnet wire are made on a machine that counts the loops of wire as they are formed into usable coils. Once the coils are complete they are installed into the stator slots in a specific order.
What is the standard wire gauge of the windings of a ceiling fan?
It could be anywhere from 36 to 48SWG
What kind of connecting wire should be used in physics Lab thinner or thicker?
If the electrical characteristics of the wire itself are not part of the experiment, then the wire should be thick and short. This minimizes both the resistance and inductance of the wire, and therefore the chances that the effects of the wire could influence the observations of the experiment.
How long is a 10 oz wire?
Depends how thick the wire is.
