Ampere Meter

An ammeter is a device used to measure the electric current flowing through a circuit. It quantifies the rate at which electric charge passes a point in the circuit, typically expressed in amperes (A). When connected properly in series with the components, it provides a reading of current, helping in assessing circuit performance or diagnosing issues. Modern ammeters can be analog or digital; digital ones display the current on a screen. They are essential tools in electrical work, ensuring circuits operate within safe and expected current ranges.
