Solution

The correct option is A

True


An ammeter is used to measure the strength of current in an electric circuit. If resistance is more, current will be less. So, if an ammeter has a high resistance then the current measured will be quite less as compared to the actual current as it will obstruct the flow of current. Therefore, the resistance of an ammeter should always be low to allow a good amount of current to pass through it.
