Question

why do ammeter burns when connected in parallel

Answer 1

Explanation:

As the resistance of the ammeter is very very small, thus a large amount of current flows through it when it is connected in parallel and hence it burns out

Answer 2

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
