How would you draw a parallel circuit with two resistors and an ammeter so the ammeter measures the total current?
Answer (2)
It's really hard to explain in words. See the attached diagram.
To create a parallel circuit with two resistors and an ammeter measuring total current, connect both resistors in parallel with the power source. Place the ammeter in series with the branch that connects the resistors to ensure it reads the total current. Complete the circuit by connecting all components properly with wires.
