ammeter, which is understood as an amp meter
The purpose of an ammeter is to sense and display the magnitude of the current flowing through it. When connected in series with a branch of an electrical circuit, the meter displays the magnitude (and direction) of the current in that path ... which you can't otherwise tell just by looking at the circuit.
A galvanometer is a type of ammeter an instrument for detecting and measuring electric current. A galvanometer can be converted into ammeter by connecting resistance in parallel with it.
D. A kilowatthour meter
A galvanometer is an instrument used to measure and detect electric currents. While that seems a lot similar to an ammeter, it only deals with measuring relatively small or mediocre currents. Although an ammeter is now much preferred due to its more accurate, faster, and advanced readings, there is a way to "convert" a galvanometer to function like an ammeter. A current separator or divider, known as a shunt, allows a simple meter to be calibrated (adjusted) to measure larger currents. The shunt, parallel to the coil of your galvanometer, allows more electric currents to circulate around the circuit, thus obtaining more current.
An ammeter measures the electrical current in something. A digital one is calibrated to display through the shunt and convert information from the analog model.
Electrical current is measured with an "ammeter". (The unit of current is "ampere". Measure it with an 'ampere-meter' ==> 'amp-meter' ==> 'ammeter'.)

The instrument used to measure electrical current is called an ammeter, which is actually a shortened form of 'amp meter'. The current is measured in amperes. In scientific labs, a much more sensitive instrument called a galvanometer is used to measure very small currents.
A magnetic compass can detect current, butyou'll need an Ammeter to measure it.A galvanometer can detect current ~ butyou'll need an Ammeter to measure it.
There is no volt meter or amp meter in a DC watt meter.
The ammeter will only read when connected properly. If the meter is connected backwards, then the meter reads the wrong way. If it is a digital ammeter then it may not work at all.
