An ammeter measures electric current flowing through a circuit.

Q. Assertion :Galvanometer cannot as such be used as an ammeter to measure the value of the current in a given circuit. Reason: Galvanometer gives a full-scale deflection for a current of the order of micro ampere.

Q. A tangent galvanometer measures current. True or false.
