Question

A voltmeter is always connected in parallel and an ammeter in series with the circuit. Why? Will they record the respective parameters if connected in opposite manner? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

no

Explanation:

bcoz current flowing through series circuit is same but the resistors are divided so there will be different amount of work need to move through respective parameters and hence we cant change their manner

Answer 2

Ammeter:-

An ammeter is just a converted Galvanometer and measures the current flowing through the circuit by showing proportional deflection. An ammeter is formed by connecting a Galvanometer with a low resistance in parallel.

$\bigstar$So the Ammeter is connected in series with the circuit elements and measures the current flow in a circuit.

Voltmeter:-

A Voltmeter is also a converted Galvanometer which measures the amount of Voltage (or) in other words the potential difference accross two points in a circuit. A voltmeter is formed by connecting a Galvanometer in series with a high resistance.

$\bigstar$So the Voltmeter is attached in parallel in a circuit and measures the voltage in a circuit.

And if this is not maintained then there is a high chance for the ammeter to get damaged due to low resistance.And thus won't show their respective parameters if connected in an opposite manner.
