An ammeter is a device for measuring current. It measures the current flowing
from the red to the black probes within the meter.
The ammeter is placed in series with the circuit element whose
current is to be measured. Recall that two elements are in series when
they share in the same branch and hence share the same current.
Consider the current divider circuit shown in Figure 
.

The current through 
may be expressed as a fraction of

using current division
You will now build the current divider circuit and make several measurements. Record all measured values and present percent error calculations and tables as appropriate.
