To Explain:An ammeter is designed to have a very low resistance.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
An ammeter is a device to measure the
Ammeter is connected in series in the circuit to measure the current. It is designed to have a very low resistance so that all the current passes through the ammeter giving an accurate reading. If the resistance is large, it will affect the circuit load and decrease the amount of current flowing through the circuit and hence give an erroneous reading.
Conclusion:
Ammeter is designed to have low resistance to give the most accurate reading of the current.
