Yes, that is correct.The ammeter is not connected in parallel because it will draw large current and disturb the circuit, right?
In practice, you will cause a short circuit and you may damage the ammeter. So use your ammeter always in series with the load for which you want to measure the current. The ammeter has such a small resistance that will not cause any significant voltage drop. So the load won't be disturbed.The ammeter is not connected in parallel because it will draw large current and disturb the circuit, right?
