Ammeters should be connected ________ with the circuit being tested.
A) in series
B) across a load
C) in parallel
D) None of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ammeters are designed to measure the current flowing through a circuit. To do this, they must be connected in series with the circuit being tested, meaning they are inserted in the path that the current flows through. If the ammeter is connected in parallel, it will create a low resistance path for the current to bypass the intended load, potentially damaging the ammeter and providing inaccurate readings. Therefore, the correct method is to connect an ammeter in series.
