A simple circuit consists of a resistor, a battery, and connecting wires.
How must a voltmeter be connected to a resistor in order to read the potential difference across it?
Answers
Answer:
The ammeter must be connected in the series to read the current correctly. Ammeter has very low resistance If it is connected in parallel across any load then all current in circuit will choose lower resistive path (i.e ammeter) which will cause the circuit to be damaged. Hence it is used in series. Also the current in the series is always same.
Electric circuit
Explanation:
A simple circuit consists of a resistor, a battery, and connecting wires.
A voltmeter must be connected in parallel to a resistor in order to read the potential difference across it. The ammeter must be connected in series to read the value of current in the circuit.
Please refer to the attached picture for the circuit diagram showing how to connect voltmeter and ammeter in an electric circuit.
