An ammeter is used to measure
Aelectric current flowing through a conductor
Bpotential difference across a conductor
Celectric charge stored in a conductor
Dresistance of a wire directly
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. electric current flowing through a conductor
An ammeter measures the electric current in a circuit. It is inserted into the path of current so that the current through the circuit also passes through the ammeter.
