When an ammeter is put in series of a circuit, does it record slightly less or more than the actual current in the circuit ? Explain.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether an ammeter records slightly less or more than the actual current in a circuit when placed in series, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Circuit Configuration**: - When an ammeter is connected in series with a circuit, it becomes part of the circuit path through which the current flows. 2. **Resistance of the Ammeter**: ...
