How is an ammeter converted to a voltmeter?
The ammeter is used in series, because you want to measure the current through a circuit. The voltmeter is used in parallel, because you want to measure the voltage across a circuit. If you were to place the voltmeter in series, no current would flow because of the relatively high impedance of the voltmeter. If you were to place the ammeter in parallel, you would create a short-circuit, due to the relatively low impedance of the ammeter.
Where must a voltmeter be placed in a circuit?
One does NOT insert a voltmeter in a series cirtcuit...an ammeter can be inserted in series, though. A voltmeter is connected in parallel with the source voltage and low(ground) side.
Why do you have specific resistance combination inside a voltmeter and an ammeter Explain?
in voltmeter we have internal Resistance and connected in series , to current don't transfer in voltmeter , and we have internal resistance in ammeter and connected in parallel , to most current transfer through the ammeter.
An ammeter is used for what?
An ammeter is an instrument which is used for measurement of current flowing in any circuit
What is instrument specially designed to measure voltage?
The Ammeter XD
How should a ammeter and voltmeter be connected in circuit?
Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
How can you say that ammeter measures current and voltmeter measures voltage?
voltmeter in parallel and ammeter in series of a circuit.
The rules of connecting voltmeter and ammeters in the circuit?
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
Where ammeter and voltmeter are put in circuit?
Place in parallel anywhere in the circuit. One lead goes to the hot, the other to the neutral.
What are the disadvantages of using ammeter and voltmeter?
The disadvantage of using a voltmeter and ammeter on circuit measurements is that internal burden in both these instruments can affect circuit operation so much as to make a measurement useless.
What is the calibration of ammeter?
An ammeter should not be used as a voltmeter. An ammeter is a low impedance device that measures the current going through a circuit, often by measuring the small voltage across a known resistance. A voltmeter is a high impedance device that measures the voltage across a circuit. If you were to connect an ammeter as if it were a voltmeter, you would effectively short out the circuit, drastically affecting its operation, and potentially damaging both the circuit and the ammeter.
How do you connect an ammeter and voltmeter?
To connect an ammeter, you must place it in series with the circuit so that the current flows through the ammeter. To connect a voltmeter, you must place it in parallel with the component you are measuring the voltage across. Make sure to set the ammeter and voltmeter to the proper range before connecting them.

Why does voltmeter measure current more accurately than an ammeter?
A voltmeter measures voltage across a circuit component, while an ammeter measures the current flowing through it. Voltmeters have very high resistance, which reduces the impact of the meter on the circuit compared to an ammeter with very low resistance, minimizing interference with the current being measured and resulting in more accurate readings.
What happened to the reading of ammeter and voltmeter if the number of dry cells are added in the circuit?
If additional dry cells are added in a circuit, the reading on both the ammeter and voltmeter will increase. This is because the added dry cells increase the voltage supplied to the circuit, causing an increase in current flow, which is reflected in the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter.
Why ammeter connects in series and voltmeter in parallel in electric circuit?
Because the ammeter measures the current flowing THROUGH the wire, butthe voltmeter only measures the potential difference between two points.
