As you read the meter, you're supposed to line up the needle with its image
in the mirror.
When you do that, you know you're looking at it exactly perpendicular to the
numbers, not on a slant. That eliminates the possibility of introducing an error
into your reading because of "parallax".

What is the function of the mirror located under the scale?
The mirror located under the scale allows the person standing on the scale to see the readings without having to bend down to look. It provides a convenient way to check the weight measurement accurately.
What is the scale division of ammeter?
The scale division of an ammeter refers to the value each division represents on the scale of the meter. It is typically chosen based on the range and precision of the measurement required. For example, if an ammeter has a scale division of 0.1 A, each division on the scale represents 0.1 ampere.
What is the least count of ammeter?
The least count of an ammeter refers to the smallest change in current that can be measured by the device. It is typically determined by the scale divisions on the display of the ammeter. For example, if an ammeter has a least count of 0.1 A, it means that it can detect changes in current as small as 0.1 ampere.
What is the least count of an ammeter?
The least count of an ammeter is the smallest value of current that can be measured by the instrument. It is typically determined by the scale divisions marked on the device and is an important factor in accurately reading and interpreting the measured current values.
What causes an error in reading an ammeter?
Main error is not using a mirror scale properly so the needle can appear to be in a different place. The idea is that if you look directly at the needle from the front, you will not see a reflection in the mirror as the reflection would be directly behind it. If you CAN see a reflection to the left or right, you are going to misread. Some meters have a twisted pointer instead of a mirror scale - look on properly the pointer is very thin, read from the side it is thick. Other errors might be using a "scaled" meter without the correct current transformer (used on very high current readings), a damaged (usually through overload) spring, coil, not setting the meter to zero, using a DC only meter to read AC etc etc

How is a voltmeter visually different from an ammeter?
They can both be the same superficial size and have the same visual appearance as a "meter" but a voltmeter has its scale marked out in volts and an ammeter has its scale marked out in amps.

Mirror Mirror on the wall who is the gingerest of them all?
There is no scale for the worldwide measurement of hair gingerness.
What is ammeter sensitivity?
Ammeter sensitivity can be determined by a change of scale for the ammeter which would introduce higher or lower resistance values depending on the reading required. A higher sensitivity for lower values of ampacity would require higher resistance in the measuring circuitry. Use Ohm's law to verify.
