-- In a series circuit, no matter where you install the ammeter, it will always read the same current. -- In a parallel circuit, the ammeter may read a different current when it's moved to a different parallel branch.
In a series circuit, the current is the same throughout all components. Therefore, both ammeter 1 and ammeter 2 will read the same current, as they are measuring the same flow of electrons in the circuit. The readings on both ammeters will be equal, so neither will have a bigger reading. The voltage drop across the lamps may differ, but that does not affect the ammeter readings.
The purpose of an ammeter is to sense and display the magnitude of the current flowing through it. When connected in series with a branch of an electrical circuit, the meter displays the magnitude (and direction) of the current in that path ... which you can't otherwise tell just by looking at the circuit.
An ammeter is a amp meter put into a circuit in series. There is virtually no voltage drop or resistance in an ammeter so two in series would be redundant. If you have one in a circuit it will tell you the amps that circuit is generating, two would both give virtually the same result.
An ammeter.
It measures the current.
The ammeter measures the amount of current in a circuit.
How do you connect an ammeter to a circuit?
An ammeter is always connected in series in the circuit.
An ammeter measured how many amperes of current are flowing in an electrical circuit.
An ammeter measures the electrical current in something. A digital one is calibrated to display through the shunt and convert information from the analog model.
connect ammeter in series with load.
Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
The ammeter does affect the flow of current in a circuit, however, the resistance of the ammeter is so small in comparison to the circuit that the effect is negligible. It is connected in series.
Series connect it within the line of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.More detailSince we measure the flow of current IN the circuit, the ammeter must be connected in series with the part of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.One of the ammeter's terminals must be connected to a point of the incoming current flow and its second terminal must be connected to the point of on-going current flow. To do this, cut the relevant circuit wire and connect one terminal of the ammeter to each end of the cut.
To measure current in circuit
An ammeter reads the current that is flowing through a branch of a circuit. If there is a break within that same branch of the circuit, current will not be able to flow through that branch of the circuit as it forms an incomplete loop, so the ammeter will read 0 A of current. If there is a break in a circuit in a branch that is not connected to the ammeter however, the ammeter will give a higher reading of the current. This is assuming that the break in the other branch does not short out the branch with the ammeter attached, and that the circuit can still form a complete loop without that branch.
