Ammeters often contain fuses that protect them from large currents while voltmeters seldom do. Explain.
1 Answer
Since current produces more heating effect than the voltage as H = I2Rt = IVt. So, to protect from heating effect and damage, the ammeter contains fuses that protect from large current while the voltmeter contains high resistance but in voltmeter the current flows in ideally zero.
