Ammeter and Voltmeter - Where Do They Go?

The video tutorial explains the use of ammeters and voltmeters in measuring current and voltage in circuits. Ammeters should be placed in series with the circuit element and have nearly zero resistance to avoid altering the circuit. Voltmeters, on the other hand, should be placed in parallel and have nearly infinite resistance to prevent affecting the circuit's behavior. Understanding the reasoning behind these placements is crucial to avoid mistakes and ensure accurate measurements.
