You can't measure amps that way. In fact, you can't measure resistance that way either. So, put that completely out of your mind. With the circuit breaker connected, and some electrical loads running (like lights and fans) your inductive ammeter will tell you the current that is running through that circuit, but a voltage drop test will tell you if that circuit breaker, or a connection, or a wire, is creating a bottleneck -- and that's what you really want to know.
