polarity is of major importance in dicect current circuits.

When using meters please remember that a volt meter does not connect into a circuit, the leads are placed across the component that you are measuring. It is an amp meter that connects into the circuit, becoming part of the circuit, to measure the current flowing through that circuit.

they are used for more power than a series circuit so you should use this one.

To test for resistance in a circuit, the circuit should be de-energized.
It will not be possible to measure current unless the circuit is powered and operating.

No, a battery should not spark when connecting it to a device. Sparks could indicate a short circuit or improper connection, which can be dangerous and potentially damage the device or the battery.
No, the battery should not spark when connecting it to a device. Sparks could indicate a short circuit or improper connection, which can be dangerous and potentially damage the device or the battery.
No, it is not normal for a car battery to spark when connecting it. Sparks can indicate a poor connection or a short circuit, which can be dangerous and should be addressed immediately.
Because it has neutral with 3 phases. A supply circuit breaker is used on the lv side of the transformer to protect the equipment connecting to it.
Most electrolytic caps are polarized, so they will only go in a DC circuit one way - if you reverse them, they will explode (wear goggles!).
When setting up an electrical circuit, it is recommended to connect the black wire first before connecting the red wire.
Connecting an ammeter in series with a resistor in a circuit will not affect the current through the resistor. The ammeter measures the current passing through it, so it becomes part of the circuit and simply measures the current flowing through the resistor without changing it.
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
The volt meter should work. The meter is connected across the supply where as the amp meter is connected in series with any load that it is metering. On larger installations to measure the amperage, a current transformer is connected around the conductor to be monitored. If a CT is used then the polarity has to be observed when connecting to an amp meter.
A D cell battery supplies nominally 1.5V. Connecting a 6V supply in it's place would supply an extra 4.5V and could potentially damage the circuit components.
