    Inserting an ammeter in a circuit always increases the circuit's resistance and reduces its current. The amount of error caused by the meter depends on how its internal resistance compares to the original circuit's resistance. For example, a current meter with 78Ω internal resistance used to measure current through an 8Ω resistor would cause a percentage of error in the reading due to the meter's insertion.

    Ammeter Insertion Effects

    Inserting an ammeter in a circuit always increases the resistance of the


    circuit and therefore, always reduces the current in the circuit. The error
    caused by the meter depends on the relationship between the value of
    resistance in the original circuit and the value of resistance in the
    ammeter.

    Example
    A current meter that has an internal resistance of 78Ω is used to
    measure the current through resistor RC in the figure below. Determine
    the percentage of error of the reading due to ammeter insertion.
