Why we. Don't measure current in parallel? Why we measure current in series and why we measure voltage in parallel only?

Answer / alok
we know that ammeter has ideally zero resistance so if we connect it in parallel with the ckt then it will short ckt the device in which we are measuring the current.
and we know that voltmeter has large resistance so if we connect it in series then it will open the ckt and will prevent the flow of current.

The reason is because current is a measurement of flow - how many electrons are passing through the wire, whereas voltage is a measure of the difference is energies between two points.
In order to measure the amount of electrons passing through a wire, you actually have to place the multimeter within the flow. To measure flow, the multimeter places a VERY LOW resistance into the circuit and measures the voltage drop across that resistance. By using a very low resistance, the multimeter has a negligible impact on the circuit when placed in series.
In order to measure the energies between two points, the multimeter is place in parallel in the circuit with a HUGE resistance and measures the current through the resistance. By using a huge resistance, the multimeter has a negligible impact on the circuit when placed in parallel.
Note: when placing a multimeter into a circuit in series with it turned to the voltage setting or in parallel with the current setting, you will either destroy the multimeter or trigger the circuit breaker or fuse

generally transmitter power supply having some range(12v to 35v) but the out put(4-20 mA) must same for given input.If we vary the power supply voltage then output mA also to be change according to V=IR. Is there any voltage regulator in the transmitter ?

Hi at present i m wrking with tire industry as a manager having gud ctc. Nw I am selected for 1 of the best chemical industry but my ctc is lower than current n also i hv 2 compromize vit post as post is also lower. I hv 6 yrs of exp in various type of industry. Should i join chemical industry as there ar lot of gud instrument than tire? Financialy i can manage 4 more 2 yrs. Bt during wrking vit tire industry i found there is very less instrument n feel that opportunity is less. Pl ans quickly. I have less time to decide.
