Why placing the ammeter between the potential divider and the voltmeter will give an incorrect value?
beacause ammeter is use to measure the current not to measure the voltage
How do you measure voltage?
Voltage can be measured using the difference between the potentiel between two ends of wire or by using a volt-meter. You can easily measure volt by volt or multimeter but remember voltage always measure across the components but in parallel
What does the size of a current depend upon?
One way to determine current is to measure it, with an ammeter. Another way is to calculate it using Ohm's law: current = voltage / resistance.
What is instrument specially designed to measure voltage?
The Ammeter XD
How does an ammeter work?
An ammeter is a low voltage voltmeter in parallel with a small resistance resistor. Current flow through the resistor creates a voltage drop across it which is then measured by the voltmeter.
How do you measure the resistance of a motor?
we can measure the resistance of the motor by using voltmeter ammeter method of by directly using a multimeter across the armature terminals of the motor in voltmeter ammeter method we should use a less value of dc voltage to find the resistance

Does a clamp-on ammeter measures voltage?
No, it will only measure the current through a single phase.

How does an ammeter work?
An ammeter is a low voltage voltmeter in parallel with a small resistance resistor. Current flow through the resistor creates a voltage drop across it which is then measured by the voltmeter.
Why is voltmeter is connected in parallel and ammeter in series?
Because its function is to measure the current, i.e. the amount of electrical flow in the circuit, and this require that the current flows through the ammeter A good ammeter has very low series resistance, so connecting it in series will not affect your circuit. Be careful when using an ammeter , because of its very low resistance , it can cause a short circuit if you use it by mistake to measure "voltage", so avoid connecting it in Parallel.
An ammeter is used for what?
An ammeter is an instrument which is used for measurement of current flowing in any circuit
Why should you be the internal resistance of the very few Amitr?
ammeter connect in series in circuit to measure the current, if the Ammeter have a high resistance it would effect the voltage value because there will be a drop voltage over the internal resistance of the Ammeter, so we desgin the ammeters with very low resistance...
What is the difference in an ammeter and a multimeter?
An ammeter just measures current (amps), while a multimeter is a single unit that can be switched over to measure other things such as voltage and resistance in addition to current.
An ammeter and voltage range are measure the current and voltage electric lamp if mistake meter interchange what will happen?
1. Voltmeter has high impedance and hence will restrict the current severely.a) Electric Bulb will not glowb) The Ammeter will just measure the current that Voltmeter allows and since this current is much smaller than actual current nothing will happen to ammeter.c) The Voltmeter will measure the Voltage that is being applied.d) This will allow you to measure the resistance of the Voltmeter.VR=V/I
