why ammeter are connected in series not inparallel?

Ammeter measures value of current flowing in circuit, so current should flow inside ammeter to give proper result. And it has very low resistance to ensure the correct measurement of current in the circuit.
If it is connected in parallel across any load then all current in circuit will choose lower resistive path (i.e ammeter) to cause it's circuit to be damaged. Hence it is used in series.

HI !

Ammeter is a device that is used to measure the current flowing through a circuit.
Ammeter has a very low resistance. This is to ensure that it gets the correct measurement of the current flowing through the circuit.
Ammeter is connected in series.This is because , as it has very low resistance , a huge amount of current can flow through the circuit , hence , it might lead to short circuit.
Hence , to prevent this ammeter is connected in series
