An ideal ammeter has zero resistance and hence the current will flow through the ammeter and not through the 3 Ω resistor. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/p-oa8uptxep4bq.png" /> ∴ I=(10/2)=5 A

Q. The reading of the ideal ammeter in the circuit is

$1 A$

$2 A$

$3 A$

$5 A$

An ideal ammeter has zero resistance and hence the current will flow through the ammeter and not through the $3 Ω$ resistor.

$∴ I = \frac{10}{2} = 5 A$
