ammeter
This term refers to a specialized diagnostic tool used in electrical engineering and physics. It carries a technical, precise connotation, typically appearing in laboratory manuals, circuit diagrams, and industrial maintenance reports rather than in casual conversation.
Because it is a physical device, it follows standard countability rules. It is distinct from a voltmeter or ohmmeter, which measure voltage and resistance respectively, though all three are often integrated into a single multimeter.
Meanings
Examples
Connect the ammeter in series with the circuit to get an accurate reading.
The digital ammeter shows a steady flow of five amperes.
Check the ammeter before you increase the voltage.
An analog ammeter uses a needle to indicate the current level.
The technician replaced the faulty ammeter in the control panel.
Make sure the ammeter is not connected in parallel or it will blow a fuse.
The reading on the ammeter suddenly spiked during the experiment.
