Can an Ammeter Help Identify Short-Circuiting in Series Circuits?

AI Thread Summary
In a series circuit, an ammeter can be used to assess current flow, but the discussion raises questions about potential short circuits when connecting devices. The original poster (OP) seems to inquire if an ammeter can help identify defective devices. Responses indicate that clarity in the question is needed for accurate answers, and the specific device in question is crucial for a definitive response. There is uncertainty regarding the possibility of short circuits in the described scenario. Overall, the effectiveness of using an ammeter for diagnostics depends on the context and the specific devices involved.

If in a series circuit and as ammeter, the triage point, there are only two ways : 1.to the ammeter 2. A leading to the use of electrical It stands to reason that at this time no other path through electric appliances, A, A will be short-circuit. But do remember that when this is done the subject, but he said no short circuit, I have not done any experiments in the end will not short-circuit ah? (I can only speak a little English,this passage may have some grammatical errors,I am sorry !)

Sorry, I do not know what you mean ...
 
The Wasp, you will have to make your question a little more coherent than that.
 
I can't get it either. If you state what your primary language is perhaps someone could translate?
 
Looks like Japanese or Chinese thru a machine translator like BableFish.
Having some experience with that.
I think the OP is asking if it is possible to use an ammeter to determine if some device is defective.

The answer being maybe.
It would help if you said what the device was.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
