What is ammeter used for?
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.
How do you measure the current through a circuit without intercepting the supply?
Add an ammeter in parralel with the circuit. An ammeter in parallel with a circuit to be measured will not measure any current. In fact, placing an ammeter in parallel will cause a short. The ammeter must be placed in series with the circuit to be measured. It should be noted that this technique only allows for small magnitudes of current to be measured. One should not try to measure more than 10 amps using this method. However, this is not the goal of the question asked. I am not 100% sure what "intercepting the supply" means but I think the person asking the question means without breaking the circuit? In this case one could use a clamp on ammeter. There are several varieties that can measure low currents and there are those that can measure 100s of amps.
How do you convert microamps to amps in a circuit?
Multiply by 1,000,000
What is the resistance of the circuit if the voltage is 230 volts and the current flowing is 5 amps?
The resistance of the circuit will be 46 ohms
Can you use32amp circuit for a 15amp appliance?
If it is a 32-amp circuit you can use any appliance that takes less than 32 amps. That includes a 15-amp appliance. All appliances fed from that circuit must use 32 amps or less in total.
