Ammeter
Product Code : LSK-LM-11124
Ammeter (SKU LSK-LM-11124) is a DC laboratory meter for measuring the electric current in a circuit, mounted on a Bakelite or acrylic stand with lock-type terminals. Current is measured in amperes, which gives the instrument its name, and lower-range versions are offered for smaller currents. It is a standard bench meter for school and college physics practicals. Science Lab Supplies supplies this ammeter from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors, in all common ranges.
Specifications
The table below lists every detail given for this ammeter. In short, it is a DC current meter on a Bakelite or acrylic stand, fitted with lock-type terminals that hold leads firmly, available in all common ranges including lower ranges for small currents, and packed individually in a card box.

Applications and Experiments for the Ammeter
The ammeter is connected in series to read the current flowing through a component or circuit. It is used in Ohm’s law, series-parallel and resistance experiments and is basic school physics lab equipment in India from Class 10 upwards, as well as a routine meter in college electricity practicals.
- Class 10 science (Electricity): plotting current against potential difference with a Voltmeter across the resistor and an AC/DC Battery Eliminator 12V 2A as the source.
- Class 11–12 physics: current readings in resistance, heating-effect and meter-bridge circuits, switched with a Brass One Way Plug Key.
- B.Sc. practicals: measuring branch and total currents in network experiments.
- ITI and diploma trades: current checks in basic DC circuits.
Always connect the ammeter in series and observe the marked polarity. Start on a higher range if the current is unknown.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Ammeter is supplied as one stand-mounted DC meter with lock-type terminals, packed in its own card box. Tell us the range you need, or several ranges for different experiments, and the quotation will list each one; voltmeters and keys can be added.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for one ammeter or a set in different ranges for every group in a physics lab. Science Lab Supplies sets out packing, delivery time and price for that quantity on each quotation, so meters, keys and power supplies can be priced together.
Through its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Write to us on the contact page, use the enquiry cart, or open the lab tender page for tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ammeter used for?
An ammeter measures the electric current flowing in a circuit, in amperes. In the laboratory it is connected in series with the component under test, so that the whole current passes through the meter.
Which ranges can be ordered?
All common ranges are available, including lower-range instruments for measuring smaller currents. List the ranges you need for your experiments and the quotation will show each one separately.
Can this ammeter be used on AC circuits?
No. This is a DC meter, so it is intended for direct-current circuits such as those powered by cells or a DC battery eliminator. Observe the terminal polarity when connecting it.
Who supplies the Ammeter?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, packed in a card box, and can quote it together with voltmeters, galvanometers and other laboratory meters on a single list.
