Key Points
- An ammeter is a device that measures electric current in a circuit.
- It is connected in series with the circuit and measures the flow of current through it.
- An ammeter is designed to have a very low resistance so that it does not affect the current flowing through the circuit.
- It is an essential tool for anyone working with electrical circuits, as it helps in monitoring the current and detecting any faults or abnormalities.
Additional Information
- Odometer: It is an instrument that measures the distance traveled by a vehicle.
- Speedometer: It is an instrument that measures the speed of a vehicle.
- Hygrometer: It is an instrument that measures the humidity in the atmosphere.

- The galvanometer shows both the direction and magnitude of the current.
