Question

how do we connect voltmeter and ammeter in electric? What is likely to happen if the positions of these instruments are interchanged

Answer 1

Ammeter is always connected in series because it has low resistance.

Voltmeter is always connected in parallel. because it has high resistance.

So conditions is what happens when voltmeter and ammeter interchange their position..

Ammeter is connected in parallel. So it has very low resistance…current is follow only low resistive path

Now,if Voltmeter is connected in series..then due to high resistance no current will flow through circuit..so novoltage drop occur. Voltage in same line is zero..its indicates zero.

Answer 2

dear student,

we can connect both voltmeter and ammeter in electricity in two ways first we can connect voltmeter and ammeter in parallel combination which is best and good for commercial purpose.
and we can connect voltmeter and ammeter in series combination which is not good and have more disadvantages than its advantages.

if the positions of these instruments are interchanged then there is much difference in current and potential differences value.

hope this answer helps you a lot...
