What do you use an ammeter for?

Answer by  Redhdz (527)

It detects the amount of electricity in a circuit. It can measure direct (battery) or alternating current (house). It measures in amps. You can use it to check and see if fuses are good. It can detect if there are breaks within electric circuit.

An ammeter is to check battery and circuit voltage, current, resistance, etc. in electrical equipment. You can check electircal circuits for continuity to help determine if there is a break. This is a key piece of equipment for troubleshooting electrical problems.

An Ammeter is a tool used in determining the amount of amperage (current) being used in a curcuit. It doesn't measure potential amperage, just the present amount being drawn.
