Open in App
Solution

  1. An ammeter is a device used to measure the electric current in a circuit.
  2. In order to measure current, the resistance of the ammeter should be very small so that almost all the current flows through the ammeter.
  3. Therefore ammeter is connected in series with the circuit so that the resistance of the ammeter will also add up in the circuit.
