Give reason
Why voltmeter have more resistance. ​


Anonymous: it have high resistance coz..
Anonymous: if it have low resistance than it will
Anonymous: take some current from the circuit
Anonymous: then the value will not b perfect
Anonymous: hope u got it

Voltmeter is supposed to have infinite/very high resistance to avoid loading effect.

If the resistance of voltmeter is low, it will start acting as a load itself and draws current from source. Since the voltmeter is connected in parallel to the load, the current drawn by the actual load also changes.

As V= IR, when current changes through load, voltage also changes.

When voltmeter has very high resistance, it draws very low value of current from the source and the load current is pretty much the same as it was without the voltmeter. Hence voltage across the load is approximately same and we get the correct voltage reading.

Let's assume a load resistance of 500 ohms in series with a 100 ohm resistance supplied by a 100 v battery and see the effect of voltmeter resistance in the voltage across load.

Natharva:  a voltmetermeasures the voltage difference between two different points (say, on different sides of a resistor), but it should not change the amount of current going through the element between those two points. So, it should have very high resistance so that it doesn't "draw" current through it.

Voltmeter has more resistance because to find how much current is flowing b/w the two points,So to check that we need to connect it in parallel,to not disturb the circuit.

Hope it helps you

Thank you
