All the current would go through the ammeter. The whole purpose for making a measurement with an ammeter is to determine current draw through a component or circuit. If the ammeter takes all the current away from the device under test, the reading would be meaningless. Also, since the ammeter would present pretty much a dead short to the power supply, blown fuses or toasted components usually result.
nothing will happen by natalia
It means, do not assume it is gonna happen
i do believe that most of the things happen for a reason...
song everything that happen to me that was good god did it?
true
-- 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.
If an ammeter is placed in parallel with a a load on a circuit, the circuit can short out as the ammeter takes the place of the load, flowing freely through the meter. Never measure across a resister or other electronic load with an ammeter. Remember, ammeters are used in series while voltmeters are used in parallel.
When a shunt resistor is connected in series with an ammeter, it allows the ammeter to measure larger currents than it can handle directly. The shunt resistor creates a parallel path for most of the current to flow through, allowing only a small fraction of the total current to pass through the ammeter itself. This setup enables the ammeter to accurately measure the current by using the voltage drop across the shunt resistor, which can be calibrated to reflect the total current flowing in the circuit.
Maybe blow the fuse or burn out the wiring. An ammeter has an extremely low resistance. connecting it across the resistance causes the resulting parallel resistance to be slightly lower than the resistance of the ammeter 1/Rt = 1/R + 1/R(ammeter)

In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
an ideal ammeter has zero or negligible resistance when this is connected in series no effective resistance would be added in the circuit so that the value of curret that we get is exactly of the circuit only. but when the ammeter is connected in parllel as it has zero resistance , the resistor to which it is connected in parllel gets shorted and due to his the effective resistance of the circuit is changed and so the effective current ... due to this the w=value measured by the ammeter would be different (incresed due to dec. in effective resistance)
The current decreases due to I=V/R. The ammeter reading will decrease as R is increased.
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.
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.
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.
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.
