  1. Ammeter and Voltmeter

  2. Adding an Ammeter into a Circuit • In order to measure the current traveling through a circuit, an ammeter must be inserted into the circuit. • An ammeter is always connected inside the circuit in series. A

  3. Connecting An Ammeter In each diagram, is the ammeter hooked up correctly to these circuits? A) B) C) A A NO A YES YES F) E) D) NO A YES NO A A

  4. Adding a Voltmeter to a Circuit • In order to measure the voltage or potential difference traveling through a circuit, a voltmeter must be inserted into the circuit. • A voltmeter is always connected outsidethe circuit in parallel. V

  5. Connecting A Voltmeter In each diagram, is the voltmeter hooked up correctly to these circuits? V A) B) C) V V NO YES YES F) E) D) V YES V YES NO V

  6. 5.9 Where to place the meters. Write this in your notebook. • Voltmeter – always placed outside of the circuit attached in parallel • Ammeter – is always placed inside the circuit and is attached in series V A V
