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.
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.
The Ammeter XD
An ammeter is a low voltage voltmeter in parallel with a small resistance resistor. Current flow through the resistor creates a voltage drop across it which is then measured by the voltmeter.
it can be used as a ammeter, voltmeter and also as a ohmmeter.
Yes, of course.
No. Voltmeter in parallel. Ammeter in series.
Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
voltmeter in parallel and ammeter in series of a circuit.
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.

The Ammeter XD
An ammeter or a voltmeter gives the reading of the flow of current, which is due to the movements of ions. When a rusted nail is immersed in the solution it will add the no of ions into the solution. This will increase the ion concentration and therefore will change the reading of a voltmeter and ammeter.
battery +ive ----> volteter +ive voltmeter +ive ----> diode +ive diode -ive ----> ammeter +ive ammeter -ive ----> voltmeter -ive voltmeter -ive ----> battery -ive
yes it can read both ac and dc voltage and current .AnswerThe whole point of a multimeter is that it can perform the function of an ammeter, a voltmeter, and an ohmmeter!
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.
They can both be the same superficial size and have the same visual appearance as a "meter" but a voltmeter has its scale marked out in volts and an ammeter has its scale marked out in amps.
