If the current is stronger then the bulb will be brighter.The reading is much easier when you sit under the brighter bulb.
You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.
Since (by Kirchoff's current law) the current in a series circuit is the same at every point in the series circuit, it does not matter where you place the ammeter.
You know if current is flowing in a bulb circuit because, if there is enough power (voltage times current), the bulb will illuminate. If there is current, but not enough power to illuminate the bulb, you will need to measure the current with an ammeter to see if there is any current.
No. Circuit is open but still HOT.
the bulb will glow and ammeter will show the reading
If the current is stronger then the bulb will be brighter.The reading is much easier when you sit under the brighter bulb.
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.
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
You would load the circuit, and it is likely it would not operate correctly. A volt meter is designed to have a very high resistance between the two probes; an ammeter is designed to have a very low resistance. For instance, say you have a 120 watt light bulb that runs on 120 volts (you would then draw ~1 amp of current). If you tried to measure this with a meter that has .1 ohm resistance on ammeter setting, and 1,000,000 ohms on volt meter: Error due to loading: ammeter: .1 / (120 + .1) = .08%; Current will be .999Amps, power to the light bulb will be 119.9 watts Volt meter: 1,000,000/ (120 + 1,000,000) = 99.9%; current will be 120micro Amps, power to the light bulb will be 14.4 milliwatts (the light bulb will not appear to be on).
in a series circuit or it will not work. Put it after the bulb

When a light bulb blows, it means the filament inside the bulb has broken due to wear and tear. This causes the electrical current to stop flowing, resulting in the bulb no longer emitting light. To fix this, you simply need to replace the blown bulb with a new one.
It would no longer work. Light bulbs are usually under vacuum and if air gets in the filament blows.
If the current is stronger then the bulb will be brighter.
