Well, ammeters have extremely low resistance, and therefore, by design have to be put in series with your connnections. If they are put in parallel, you will find that all the current goes through them. They will often blow, and short out your circuit.
For instance, you must disconnect one power lead, and place the ammeter in that break.
Like this
Battery +ve -----electrolyser------- +ammeter- --------battery -ve
And also, the ammeter needs to be put in correctly as well. The -ve side must be put to the more negative side of your system, and +ve to +ve.
My example (hopefully it's clear enough) shows the ammeter at the negative side of the battery, but it could be at positive as well. It's up to you, as long as it is run in seriesStatistics: Posted by pertyfly — Sun Sep 11, 2005 12:33 pm
