An ammeter is connected in series with the circuit because the purpose of the ammeter is to measure the current through the circuit. Since the ammeter is a low impedance device, connecting it in parallel with the circuit would cause a short circuit, damaging the ammeter and/or the circuit.

Answer:

ammeter is connected in series because the purpose of fixing it in series is to measure electric current. When it is connected in series it will cause short circuit and other cause is that the current is divided into many ways by parallel combination so it cannot measore the current of every wire.
