Ammeter burns out when connected in parallel.give reasons.

An ammeter is likely to burn if connected in parallel because ammeter is a low resistance device and when connected in parallel, the resistance of the circuit reduces considerably. Hence, a large current flows in the circuit which may lead to burning of a circuit.

Bcoz it's residents is very low nd when it's connected in parallel it may get fused due to high current hope it's helpful......!!!!!

due to flow of huge current

An Ammeter has low resistance. As a result, if it is connected in parallel its resistances will be further decreased. Hence more current will flow through it which may result in the burning of the ammeter...

An ameter is likely to burn if ameter is connected in parallel because ameter has low resistance when it is connected in parallel the resistance of circuit gets reduced hence a large current flows through the circuit which may be cause of damaging of ameter

Ammeter  burns when connected in parallel as the current flowing through the circuit is higher than the current flowing through the series circuit .

If ammeter connected in parallel the resultant resistance of the circuit decrease and more current passes through the the instrument .
