how can we measure the current flowing in a circuit without using
ammeter
can we have to use a voltage to current convertor?
if so what are the possible solutions to do so?

if your working with AC then a CT (current Transformer) works well.
if your working with DC then a hall type current sensor also works
well.
but maybe that isn't what you want ?
if you have the options of inserting something in the line then you
could use a shunt type series resistor and measure the voltage at both ends and do the math
