Why do we connect ammeter in parallel?

An ammeter is a device which measures the amount of current flowing in a circuit. It is a very low resistance(nearly zero) device. If it will be connected in parallel, it would draw most of the current and would get damaged. Hence, it is connected in parallel.

What will be happened when two different voltage sources connected in parallel?

When two voltage sources of different magnitude are connected in parallel then the charge from higher voltage source moves towards lower voltage source until and unless both voltage sources reach same potential.

How ammeter should be connected?

In order for an ammeter to measure a device’s current, it must be connected in series to that device. All of the current in this circuit flows through the meter. The ammeter would have the same reading if located between points d and e or between points f and a, as it does in the position shown.

What is ammeter with diagram?

So this device measures the current flow in ampere is named as an ammeter or ampere meter. The internal resistance of this device is ‘0’ however in practical; it has some amount of internal resistance. The measuring range of this device mainly depends on the resistance value. The ammeter diagram is shown below.

Is galvanometer connected in series?

The deflection of the coil is directly proportional to the current flow through it. The galvanometer is converted into the ammeter by connecting the resistance in parallel with the circuit. It is connected in series with the circuit for determining the exact value of circuit current.

Is any device that uses electricity in a circuit?

An electric circuit includes a device that gives energy to the charged particles constituting the current, such as a battery or a generator; devices that use current, such as lamps, electric motors, or computers; and the connecting wires or transmission lines.

What is block diagram example?

A block diagram is a diagram of a system in which the principal parts or functions are represented by blocks connected by lines that show the relationships of the blocks. They are heavily used in engineering in hardware design, electronic design, software design, and process flow diagrams.
