An ammeter is typically made using a sensitive galvanometer, which consists of a coil of wire suspended in a magnetic field. When electric current passes through the coil, it generates a magnetic force that causes the coil to rotate, moving a needle across a calibrated scale to indicate the current's strength. To measure larger currents, shunt resistors are often used in parallel with the galvanometer, allowing it to measure higher currents without damaging the sensitive components. The construction may also include protective casing and terminals for easy connection in a circuit.
