What else can I help you with?
Which ammeter will have the biggest reading A series circuit powered by a battery consisting of an ammeter (ammeter 1) a lamp a second ammeter (ammeter 2) and another lamp.?
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.
Where is the best place to put an ammeter in the circuit to measure the current going through the light bulb?
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.
What happen if you change the position of ammeter in the circuit in parallel and series?
-- 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.
When there are three cells in a circuit how would the ammeter change?
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.
Why do you only need one ammeter in a 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.

What happens to an ammeter when there is a break in a 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.
How do you calculate the ammeter 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.

What will an ammeter show if the circuit is broken?
Zero. No current is flowing in an open circuit. The ammeter will display an amount of 0 amps because there is no longer any current once the circuit has been broken. An ammeter measures current.

-- 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.

How does measure current with an ammeter connect the ammeter to what?
To measure current with an ammeter, it must be connected in series with the circuit component whose current is being measured. This ensures that the same current flowing through the component also flows through the ammeter, allowing it to accurately measure the current. The ammeter has a low resistance to minimize any impact on the circuit's operation. Proper connection is crucial to obtain accurate readings without disrupting the circuit's functionality.
What happens when an ammeter is connected in parallel with a circuit?
SMOKE!!! Yiii-haaaa! An ammeter is always as low a resistance as possible. That way, the current that you measure in a circuit using the meter will be the same as if the meter were not there. So putting an ammeter in parallel with a circuit means that you just short circuited the circuit you were intending to measure. Poof! There goes your ammeter!An ammeter has a very low internal resistance. So, if it is connected in parallel with a load, it will short-out that load. The resulting high current flowing through the ammeter may severely damage the meter (and possible harm the user), although most are fitted with fuses to protect them.
What will happen to an ammeter reading if the resistors are connected in parallel?
You would be drawing more current. It would be the same as adding more load to the circuit in a vehicle, say more lights. The lights would just be seen as more load (a resistive load in the case of incandescent lights). Add more lights (resistors) and more current is needed. The ammeter would indicate a higher current draw.
