Verified by Experts

Ammeter:
(i) An ammeter is an instrument used to measure the current in a circuit.
(ii) It is a always connected in series in the circuit.
(iii) The resistance of the ammeter is very low.
(iv) The resistance of an ideal ammeter is zero.
(v) The shunt resistor takes the maximum current.
Voltmeter:
(i) A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure the potential difference across the circuit.
(ii) It is always connected in parallel across the load in the circuit.
(iii) The resistance of the voltmeter is very high.
(iv) The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is infinity.
(v) The ballest or series resistor takes the maximum voltage.
