If it is an ammeter designed for DC (direct current) like you have in a car and you connect it in an AC (alternating current) circuit (like you have in your home) it will read zero, even though it is obvious that current is flowing.

If the ammeter is not showing any value of current when connected to a wire, it could be due to a few reasons: the wire may not be carrying any current, the wire may be broken, or there may be a connection issue between the ammeter and the wire. Check the connections, ensure the wire is intact and current is flowing, and try a different wire to verify if the ammeter is functioning properly.

∙ 15y agoIn a properly balanced split phase system, the power supplied by one hot leg is equal to the power supplied by the other hot leg. Kirchoff's current law states that the sum of the currents at a node is zero. This means that the two hot legs balance each other, and there is no power being supplied or consumed by the neutral leg. This is the ideal situation. If you read a current on the neutral leg, you should try to move loads from one hot leg to the other to attempt to balance the load between legs. This maximizes the efficiency of the transformer, because any significant imbalance represents higher current in one winding versus the other winding.

What happens to an ammeter when there is a break in a circuit?
When there is a break in a circuit, the ammeter will show zero current because the circuit is incomplete, and no current can flow. The ammeter essentially measures the flow of current through the circuit, so without a complete path for the current to travel, the ammeter will not register any reading.
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.
How do you show forces in a diagram?
Forces can be shown in a diagram using arrows. The length and direction of the arrows represent the magnitude and direction of the force, respectively. You can label the arrows with the type of force and its value if known.
What are the properties that a device must have in order to measure temperature?
A device that measures temperature must have a temperature sensor that responds to changes in temperature, a way to convert the sensor's response into a numerical value, and a display or output to show the numerical temperature value. Additionally, the device should have the ability to calibrate and accurately measure a range of temperatures.
How do you identify p side and n side of a diode using a multi meter?
To identify the p-side and n-side of a diode using a multimeter, set the multimeter to the diode mode. Connect the positive lead of the multimeter to the suspected p-side of the diode and the negative lead to the suspected n-side. If the diode is connected in forward bias (p to positive, n to negative), the multimeter should show a low forward voltage drop. Conversely, if it is connected in reverse bias, the multimeter should display an open circuit.
What happens when a bulb ammeter battery and switch are put connected together?
the bulb will glow and ammeter will show the reading

What is the definition of a double line graph?
a graph that uses two lines connected by points to show value
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.
Is the LEGO Ninjago movie connected to the show?
No The Lego Ninjago Movie is not connected to the show.
Will ammeter work when the car isn't running just on?
The ampmeter should show a discharge with key on, engine off.
How is a scatter plot different from a line graph?
Scatter plots show how much one variable is affected by another,A graph that uses points connected by lines to show how something changes in value
How would you illustrate the conversation of current using the ammeter?
I don't belive you can. Ammeters just show how many amps are flowing through a particular current
Why high resistances are not used in wheatstone bridge?
Because if high resistance is like kilo mega ohm is used , corresponding current through the balanced point is in the order of micro ampere, so you have to use micro ampere sensitive ammeter , otherwise normal ammeter always show zero reading
Which command will show the mac addresses of station connected to switch port?
Show arp
