An ammeter is connected in __________ with the circuit element whose current we wish to measure?
Correct answer: A. Series
- A. Series
- B. Parallel
- C. Series or parallel
- D. None of the above
Explanation
A series connection forces the same current through the ammeter and the circuit element under test. Connecting an ammeter in parallel can produce a dangerously large current because its resistance is very low.
