Question

Identify the step which is not correct in measuring the current by an ammeter.

  1. Plug the probes into the meter.
  2. Connect the red probe with the negative end of any of the electrical components of the circuit and the black probe with the positive end.
  3. Your ammeter is in series to the component.
  4. Check the units displayed on the ammeter. Note the readings in those units.

hintHint:

Black probe in the ammeter is to direct the current away from the device.

The correct answer is: Connect the red probe with the negative end of any of the electrical components of the circuit and the black probe with the positive end.


    • Ammeter is the device that is used for measuring the current in the circuit.
    • It is connected into the circuit in series combination.
    • It contains two probes; red probe and black color probe.
    • Black color probe is connected to the negative terminal of the device as it is use to carry the current away from the device.
