An ammeter measures the electrical current in something. A digital one is calibrated to display through the shunt and convert information from the analog model.

What is the difference between a galvanometer and an ammeter?

A galvanometer is a device used to detect small electric currents, while an ammeter is a device used to measure the strength of electric currents. The main difference is that a galvanometer is more sensitive and used for detecting small currents, while an ammeter is used for measuring larger currents.


What happen when a ammeter is placed in parallel with the circuit?

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.


What are the function of ammeter?

The purpose of an ammeter is to sense and display the magnitude of the current flowing through it. When connected in series with a branch of an electrical circuit, the meter displays the magnitude (and direction) of the current in that path ... which you can't otherwise tell just by looking at the circuit.
