In a problem in electrical circuits,we have an ammeter connected in the network,now by performing kvl and kcl we got the current throught the branch containing ammeter.Is this current rms value???

Question

in the question we are asked to find the ammeter reading.

Alok Ranjan Pandey · Answer

study measurment,all measuring devices reads the rms value by default but if and only if it is not calibrated and note that wattmeter reads avg value though the wattmeter is calibrated...take avg value as meter reading for power unless it is not mentioned in the question

Subhankar Das · Answer

depends on the type of meter for pmmc dc value for mi type rms value

Damodar Reddy Ch · Answer

In ac circuits by default ammeters indicates rms only

Dilip Singh · Answer

Yes

And in any question  by default current and voltage are give in RMS value.

Shruti Goel · Answer

Ammeter measures value of current flowing in circuit, so current should flow inside ammeter to give proper result. And it has very low resistance to ensure the correct measurement of current in the circuit.
If it is connected in parallel across any load then all current in circuit will choose lower resistive path (i.e ammeter) to cause it's circuit to be damaged. Hence it is used in series.
A Voltmeter has very high resistance to ensure that it's connection do not alter flow of current in the circuit.Now if it is connected in series then no current will be there in the circuit due to it's high resistance. Hence it is connected in parallel to the load across which potential difference is to be measured.
