Adding an Ammeter into a Circuit
In order to measure the current traveling through a circuit, an ammeter must be inserted into the circuit. An ammeter is always connected inside the circuit in series. A
3
Connecting An Ammeter A) B) C) NO YES YES F) E) D) NO YES NO
In each diagram, is the ammeter hooked up correctly to these circuits? A) B) C) A A NO A YES YES F) E) D) NO A YES NO A A
4
Adding a Voltmeter to a Circuit
In order to measure the voltage or potential difference traveling through a circuit, a voltmeter must be inserted into the circuit. A voltmeter is always connected outside the circuit in parallel. V
