How is ammeter and voltmeter connected in the circuit
Answers
A voltmeter is connected in parallel with a device to measure its voltage, while an ammeter is connected in series with a device to measure its current.
Answer:
A voltmeter is used to measure the potential difference across two point in a circuit. Since, in parallel connection the voltage in the branches remains same, and also the resistance of the voltmeter is very high due to which a very small current flow through the voltmeter. So, a voltmeter is connected in parallel to measure the voltage. An ammeter is used to measure the current flowing through a component/circuit. Since, current remains same in series connection and also the resistance of an ammeter is very small due to which it doesn’t affect the current to be measured. So, an ammeter is connected in series to measure current.
