An ammeter does not 'hold' anything. It is an instrument used for measuring the instantaneous flow of electrical current known as amps (short for amperes) - or the actual passage of electrons through a circuit. One ampere is the amount of electrical current flow (symbol 'I'), in a closed electrical circuit when a potential of one volt (symbol 'V') is applied through a resistance of one ohm (symbol 'greek capital letter omega'). One ampere is 6.28 billion billion electrons per second. More than anyone can imagine.
Manufacturers of ammeters produce instruments of different capacity (which may be the root of your question), meaning the maximum value of amperes or upper limit of measurement of the instrument. Some measurements can also be too small or too large to be expressed directly as amperes, so instruments are designed with more sensitivities or less sensitivities to suit the measurement at hand.

What is the importance of ammeter?
An ammeter measures current, an important variable in electronics.
How do you measure voltage using a ammeter?
An ammeter measures amperage not voltage.
To increase the range of a dc ammeter you would use a?
To increase the range of an ammeter, you connect a very low impedance resistor in parallel with the ammeter.
How much does the average Micro Ammeter cost?
it would cost as much as your head jerk!
Why is ammeter connected in series with the load?
An ammeter is connected in series with the load to measure the current flowing through the load. By placing the ammeter in series, it becomes a part of the circuit path so that all the current flowing through the load also passes through the ammeter, allowing for an accurate measurement of the current.
How much current goes into the bulb if ammeter reading is 0.4?
The answer to this depends on where the ammeter is in the circuit. Assuming the ammeter is in series with the bulb and no other objects are attached, then the current is 0.4 Amps. Otherwise, your question is unanswerable without more information.
How range of a ammeter is extended?
if we take resistance in parallel with ammeter then the range of ammeter will change.

What is the difference between ac ammeter and dc ammeter?
dc ammeter has three connecting pins while ac has four
What will happen if you connect the ammeter in parallel with the component?
All the current would go through the ammeter. The whole purpose for making a measurement with an ammeter is to determine current draw through a component or circuit. If the ammeter takes all the current away from the device under test, the reading would be meaningless. Also, since the ammeter would present pretty much a dead short to the power supply, blown fuses or toasted components usually result.
