Connecting an ammeter in parallel subjects that ammeter to the full supply voltage. The shunt resistor is not designed to sustain that value of voltage and will burn out. Also, the clue is in the word 'shunt' (which means 'in parallel') which means that the coil will also burn out!

What happens when an ammeter is connected in parallel?

It would be equivalent to adding a high value resistor (>10M ohms) in series in the circuit. Voltmeters typically present a high internal impedance so as to not change the current flow in the circuit you are tying to measure. the circuit wont work the voltmeter only takes a voltage reading power does not actually pass through the meter sometimes it can be used to measure very low leakage current using the hi impedance of the meter. EXAMPLE leakage offset from an amplifier. it could be into the nanoamps.


Does the 1978 xl250s require a 3.61 ohm resistor connected to low beam circuit?

Yes, the 1978 Honda XL250S requires a 3.61-ohm resistor connected to the low beam circuit. This resistor helps to regulate the current and protect the headlight bulb from overheating or burning out. It's important to ensure that the electrical connections are secure and that the resistor is of the correct rating for optimal performance. Always refer to the service manual for specific wiring diagrams and specifications.


Components used to protect a LED?

The component used to protect a LED from burning up is called a resistor.


What is need of capacitor and resistor in circuit?

because without using capacitor or resistor in a circuit,it cant be complete.Resistor is used to protect the circuit by giving a certain amount of voltage.Capacitor is used to charge and discharge purpose.


Fuse should be connected to a circuit by parallel?

Fuse is a circuit element which disconnects the electrical current from the mains"supply" feeding the load when a condition of fault "short circuit " occurs. one behaviour of electric current that it flows undivided in circuit elements connected in series and is divided when flows in circuit elements connected in parallel. so in order to protect a circuit fuse MUST be connected in series to cut/disconnect the faulty current in a safe/short time. if u connect a fuse in parallel to a component then u will be shorting that component and the component will not function ;because the fuse is a thin wire with a negligible resistance and electrical current flows in the most easy "less resistive" component. besides a short circuit will happen immediatly because u connectthe supply to the neutral! hope that helps.

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.


Will a fuse work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it's supposed to protect?

No, a fuse will not work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect. Fuses are designed to be connected in series with the device, allowing them to interrupt the current flow when an overcurrent condition occurs. If connected in parallel, the fuse would not experience the same current as the device, and it would not protect it effectively from overcurrent situations.


A parallel circuit breaker should be connected in a parallel to the circuit it's protecting?

For a circuit breaker to protect anything, it must be wired in series with whatever it is protecting.

What is a fusible resistor?

A resistor designed to protect a circuit against overload.


Predict whether a fuse will work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect?

A fuse will not work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect.First, it will blow because it has no resistance in series with it. Second, once it blows, the device still has power applied to it. Fuses must be wired in series.

Can parallel circuits be used instead of fuses?

No. Parallel circuits are not fuses. Fuses can be used to protect parallel circuits.


Which meter creates an alternate path for the electrons to follow?

Both a voltmeter, and the internal guts of an ammeter, establish a parallel path around a component or a part of a circuit when they're connected to it for the purpose of making a measurement.


Why is a resistor positioned before the transistor?

It is done in order to protect the transistor from the heavy currents flowing (resistor reduces current flow) into its terminals.
