Why should ammeter have low resistance and voltmeter have high resistance?

The reason for ammeter resistance to be low is because it can accurately read the current flowing in the circuit.
When the ammeter resistance is low, almost all the current in the circuit is allowed to pass through the ammeter. This allows the ammeter to accurately read the current in the circuit. If, on the other hand, the ammeter resistance was more, the ammeter would read a value lesser than the actual value flowing through the circuit. This is because, in this case, the ammeter itself would oppose the flow of current.

Hello mate!
Here is your answer..
The ammeter is connected in series and the current remains same in the series connection. So the resistance needs to be less for accurate reading.
Hope it helps you..
