Ammeters and Voltmeters: Ideal and Non-Ideal - IB Physics

Ammeters measure current and voltmeters measure voltage. Ideal ammeters and voltmeters do not change any of the properties of the circuit they are measuring, while non-ideal ammeters and voltmeters do change the properties of the circuit. Ideally, we would want our measurement devices to NOT change the nature of what we're measuring. In this video I explain the properties that cause ammeters and voltmeters to be ideal and non-ideal.

Thank you! This the only video I found that helped me with non ideal Voltmeters and Ammeters!

[@Sanoui]

Thank you very much! Great explanation

[@khensanizitha4574]

Thanks this is super useful I'm super sure I'm gonna pass this test

[@aswin_gri]

Thank you sir, It is a very heplful video🙏🏼

[@rainheaven904]

Thanks a lot!

[@justinchandra9608]

thank you

[@hannahmeyer5076]

Your videos are soso good! I hope you got payed by your school to make theese ahah, must have taken ages!

[@AndyMasley]

Thank you so much! I get a ton of support from my school and teaching community in general :)

at 2:03 you say the ammeter is in series. But isn't it parallel?

[@AndyMasley]

Nope, it's in series with the others because if current flows through the resistors, it HAS to throw through the ammeter as well. This video explains series v parallel in more detail ruclips.net/video/dlSPpmAwT9U/видео.html
