An AC ammeter is used to measure the current in a circuit. When a given direct current passes through the circuit, the AC ammeter reads \(6~\text A.\) When another alternating current passes through the circuit, the AC ammeter reads \(8~\text A.\) Then the reading of this ammeter if DC and AC flow through the circuit simultaneously is:
1. \(10 \sqrt{2}~\text A\) 
2. \(14~\text A\) 
3. \(10~\text A\) 
4. \(15~\text A\)

Alternating current cannot be measured by a DC ammeter because:
1. AC cannot pass through DC Ammeter.
2. AC changes direction.
3. Average value of current for the complete cycle is zero.
4. DC Ammeter will get damaged.
