Assuming the new lamp is in series, the ammeter reading falls because the total resistance has increased. By how much depends on how the lamp resistance depends on voltage. If the lamp is added in parallel to the first, then the ammeter reading doubles.
decrease to half of its original value
If one bulb in a series circuit blows out, the circuit becomes open, and the current stops flowing. As a result, the reading on the ammeter will drop to zero since there is no current passing through the circuit. In a parallel circuit, if one bulb blows out, the current may decrease slightly due to the change in total resistance, but the ammeter will still show a reading corresponding to the remaining bulbs in operation.
A: the resistance should be decreased to 1/2 its value for half scale reading or use any ratio [ decrease] to obtain a correct reading.
In a circuit with three cells, the ammeter reading will depend on how the cells are connected. If they are connected in series, the total voltage increases, which can lead to a higher current, assuming resistance remains constant. If they are connected in parallel, the voltage remains the same as a single cell, but the total current could increase due to the combined capacity of the cells. Therefore, the ammeter's reading will vary based on the configuration of the cells.

The current decreases due to I=V/R. The ammeter reading will decrease as R is increased.
A: the resistance should be decreased to 1/2 its value for half scale reading or use any ratio [ decrease] to obtain a correct reading.
The voltage remains the same across the circuit as it is a parallel connection. So, the current across the upper half of the circuit where the ammeter is connected is calculated as I = V/R = 12.04 (total voltage)/12 (Resistance R1) = 1 A. Hence, the ammeter will read 1 A.
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
An ideal ammeter is a device that measures electric current and has zero resistance, producing no voltage drop when connected in a circuit. This ensures that the current being measured is not affected by the presence of the ammeter itself, providing an accurate reading of the current flowing through the circuit.
A galvanometer is converted into an ammeter by adding a low resistance called a shunt in parallel with the galvanometer coil. This shunt diverts most of the current around the galvanometer, allowing it to measure higher currents accurately. The shunt creates a parallel path with a known resistance, which scales the current to provide a direct reading on the ammeter.
The decrease of light intensity on an LDR will cause the resistance of the LDR to increase, which will result in a decrease in current flow through the circuit. As a result, the ammeter reading will decrease.
Smoke. Since a voltmeter is in parallel with the load it is right across the source voltage. Putting the amp meter across the line with its low resistance it will act like a fuse, hence the smoke. Newer solid state testers are usually smarter that the operators. They have built in circuitry which sense the wrong settings you are using and shut the tester off with a "beep" to let you know that you are doing something wrong.
