Is ammeter a low-resistance galvanometer? Explain.


No, an ammeter is not a low-resistance galvanometer. An ammeter is an instrument used to measure electric current, while a low-resistance galvanometer is a device used to detect small electric currents. The two instruments measure different parameters and thus require different designs. An ammeter typically has a very low resistance, while a low-resistance galvanometer has a much higher resistance.
