Question

Ammeter burns out when connected is parallel give reason

Answer 1

Answer:

An ammeter is likely to burn if connected in parallel because ammeter is a low resistance device and when connected in parallel, the resistance of the circuit reduces considerably. Hence, a large current flows in the circuit which may lead to burning of a circuit.

I think a short answer is better than a whole chapter

Answer 2

Explanation: An ideal Ammeter has zero resistance or negligible resistance. This helps it to measure current passing through it accurately.

When we connect an ammeter in parallel to a resistance or a combination of resistances, it gets short circuited. As a result Al the current flows through the ammeter instead of the resistors. Thus it burns out
