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.

Can ammeter be connected in neutral wire?

No, an ammeter should not be connected in the neutral wire of a circuit. It should be connected in series with the load on the live wire to measure current flowing through the circuit accurately. Disconnect the power source before connecting an ammeter and always follow safety guidelines when working with electrical circuits.

How do you measure electrical current flow in a copper wire?

Electrical current flow in a copper wire is typically measured using an ammeter, which is connected in series with the wire. The ammeter measures the flow of electrons in the wire and displays the current in units of amperes (A). Make sure to set the ammeter to the appropriate range before taking the measurement.
