Series. An ammeter is used to measure current, and is connected in series!
There are also clamp on ammeters that use a small current transformer that is placed around a wire in the current loop in question. A small amount of current will be induced on this wire which can be read by the meter. This is not exactly in series or in parallel, but it "steals" some power from the circuit to induce in the meter, and at the same time keeps the circuit intact.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when resistors are interconnected in a circuit?
The net resistance can be found out using the algebraic sums f series and parallel connections. When there is no current flowing in the circuit the net resistance is infinite.
Lrc parallel circuit?
LRC parallel circuit contains its component in parallel connectio. It contains inductor, resistor and a capacitor. A parallel circuit is a closed electrical circuit in which the current is divided into two or more paths and then returns via a common path to complete the circuit
What circiuts are found in your home and school series or parallel?
You're home/school outlets and lights are in parallel with each other. The fuses or breakers in your home / school are in series with these lights and outlets. Extentions cords / battery backups are in series with whatever is plugged into them.
Do you think Christmas lights are example of parallel or series bulbs in a circuit?
Parallel, of course. Each light has to receive the full voltage - 110 or 220 Volts, depending on the region. Also, if you disconnect one light, the others should continue working. This wouldn't be the case with a series circuit.
Why are parallel circuits do used in the air conditioning industry?
In parallel wiring both headlamps get the power like two dogs pulling on separate leashes. That way, if one headlamp goes out the other still works. The other method of wiring, series, is like one dog's leash hooked to the collar of the other dog. If one leash (headlamp) breaks, both dogs quit pulling. It is a safety measure.
What happens when resistors are interconnected in a circuit?
The net resistance can be found out using the algebraic sums f series and parallel connections. When there is no current flowing in the circuit the net resistance is infinite.
If the different parts of an electric circuit are found on separate branches of the circuit then what is that circuit called?
parallel

Were can a series circuit be found?
in a store or you might do an expiriment if your in school
Choose true or falseIf all the resistors in a parallel sub-circuit have the same value the total current can be found by multiplying the current by the number of resistors?
False. The total current in a parallel sub-circuit where all resistors have the same value cannot be found by multiplying the current by the number of resistors. In a parallel circuit, the total current depends on the individual resistor values and how they affect the overall resistance of the circuit.
How do you find out magnatising current of transformer?
apply 3 phase voltage(415V) to the winding whose magnetising current is to be found and open circuit another winding. now measure current using tong tester or connecting an ammeter in series between supply and winding.
Does the current stay the same in a parallel circuit and a series circuit?
A series circuit allows only one path for the electron path to follow. This type of circuit is found in something like Christmas tree lights. But a parallel circuit allows the 2 or more path for the electron path to follow. This is primarily used in households. So no, they are not the same electrons because they are two completely different circuits.
When you short out a resistor in a parallel circuit why does the current lower?
The total resistance of a set of resistors in parallel is found by adding up the reciprocals of the resistance values, and then taking the reciprocal of the total. By removing a resistor the total current will lower. If you short out the parallel circuit as suggested it will take out the fuse that should be protecting the circuit.AnswerShorting-out a resistor in a parallel circuit, will act to short out the entire circuit, therefore, significantly increasing, not lowering, the current! And, as the previous answer indicates, this short-circuit current will operate any protective devices, such as a fuse.In a parallel circuit current does not lower but it will be increase if shorting-out one resistor in the two resistor parallel circuit, the circuit will become very low resistive and the larger current will flow through the short path.
How many paths do electrons have to follow?
Electrons in an atom do not follow specific paths like objects moving in space. Instead, they exist within regions around the nucleus called electron orbitals, where they have a probability of being found. The paths they might take are more accurately described as probability distributions rather than fixed trajectories.
Drawing of a parallel circuit with three light bulbs?
That's not a question. Google Image search found the image attached.
How does series circuit work in everyday use?
Just about everything you use daily works on a series circuit. The one you'reprobably most familiar with and use immediately every day is a light.The most common everyday series circuits are the electrical circuits found in homesand vehicles, with the difference being the type of voltage used in each one. Homesuse AC (Alternating Current) Voltage, while vehicles use DC (Direct Current) Voltagefrom a 12-volt battery.Another opinion: No, no, no!A light and its switch comprise essentially the only series circuit in your home.Everything else in your home is in parallel. In fact, every outlet in your homeis in parallel with every other outlet, and also in parallel with every outlet inevery home near yours that's powered from the same pole transformer.
What circiuts are found in your home and school series or parallel?
You're home/school outlets and lights are in parallel with each other. The fuses or breakers in your home / school are in series with these lights and outlets. Extentions cords / battery backups are in series with whatever is plugged into them.
