Question

A simple circuit consists of a resistor, a battery, and connecting wires. (a) How must a voltmeter be connected to a resistor in order to read the potential difference across it? (b) How must an ammeter be connected in a circuit to correctly read the current? (c) Draw the circuit diagram.

Answer 1

Answer:

a)A voltmeter is always connected in parallel across the the points between which the potential difference is to be measured .

Here the voltmeter should be connected in parallel across the two points of the resistors.

b)An ammeter is always connected in series in the circuit to measure the reading of current.
