The ammeter is used in series, because you want to measure the current through a circuit. The voltmeter is used in parallel, because you want to measure the voltage across a circuit. If you were to place the voltmeter in series, no current would flow because of the relatively high impedance of the voltmeter. If you were to place the ammeter in parallel, you would create a short-circuit, due to the relatively low impedance of the ammeter.
One does NOT insert a voltmeter in a series cirtcuit...an ammeter can be inserted in series, though. A voltmeter is connected in parallel with the source voltage and low(ground) side.
in voltmeter we have internal Resistance and connected in series , to current don't transfer in voltmeter , and we have internal resistance in ammeter and connected in parallel , to most current transfer through the ammeter.
An ammeter is an instrument which is used for measurement of current flowing in any circuit
The Ammeter XD
Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
voltmeter in parallel and ammeter in series of a circuit.
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
Place in parallel anywhere in the circuit. One lead goes to the hot, the other to the neutral.
The disadvantage of using a voltmeter and ammeter on circuit measurements is that internal burden in both these instruments can affect circuit operation so much as to make a measurement useless.
An ammeter should not be used as a voltmeter. An ammeter is a low impedance device that measures the current going through a circuit, often by measuring the small voltage across a known resistance. A voltmeter is a high impedance device that measures the voltage across a circuit. If you were to connect an ammeter as if it were a voltmeter, you would effectively short out the circuit, drastically affecting its operation, and potentially damaging both the circuit and the ammeter.
To connect an ammeter, you must place it in series with the circuit so that the current flows through the ammeter. To connect a voltmeter, you must place it in parallel with the component you are measuring the voltage across. Make sure to set the ammeter and voltmeter to the proper range before connecting them.

A voltmeter does not measure current, it measures voltage in units named volts. An ammeter measures current in units named amperes or amps in common shorthand. A voltmeter is connected in parallel to the circuit being measured, whereas an ammeter is connected in series with the circuit being measured.
Because the ammeter measures the current flowing THROUGH the wire, butthe voltmeter only measures the potential difference between two points.

No. Voltmeter in parallel. Ammeter in series.
