An Ammeter provides a visual display of the magnitude of the current flowing through it.

Ideally, the ammeter does nothing "in the circuit". You don't want your test equipment

to change anything going on in the circuit you're measuring.

How can an ammeter loading effect the circuit under test?

Since internal resistance of the ameter will increases the resistance of the circuit. Thus decreasing the current giving an errorenous reading.

Why an ammeter is likely to burn out if connected in parallel combination?

ameter has a low resistance so if it is placed in parallel with the load then it will experiance voltage as much as the load and according to equation power=v2/r the power will be very high as high v or low r both favors for a high power dissipation . but on a series combination most of the voltage drop will be on load the ameter will not have a high power dissipation


Why is the circuit a circuit?

Because circuit is a circuit.
