A meter designed to measure electrical current is popularly called an "ammeter" because the unit of measurement is "amps." ... In ammeter designs, external resistors added to extend the usable range of the movement are connected in parallel with the movement rather than in series as is the case for voltmeters.

When an ammeter is placed in series with a circuit, it ideally drops no voltage as current goes through it. In other words, it acts very much like a piece of wire, with very little resistance from one test probe to the other.

An ammeter is placed in series with a circuit element to measure the electric current flow through it. The meter must be designed offer very little resistance to the current so that it does not appreciably change the circuit it is measuring.

1.5 AMP - Shunt Ammeter Circuit ... The above schematic is of a circuit that will convert a 0-15Volt voltmeter to a 1.5Amp ammeter. ... The Circuit is for a 'Shunt' type ammeter that allows a meter movement with a small current rating to be used to measure a much larger current. In this example 1 milliamp through the...
