could you measure current in parallel?..

Answer / Sujata Gupta

Yes, it is possible to measure current in a parallel circuit. However, since the total resistance decreases when components are connected in parallel, a smaller current will flow through each individual component compared to when they are not connected in parallel. To measure this current, you can use an ammeter, but it must be placed in series with the component you want to measure. Keep in mind that putting an ammeter in series changes the total resistance of the circuit and might affect the other components.
