Question

THE AMMETER IN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT IS CONNECTED IN SERIES AND VOLTMETER IN PARALLEL WHY

Answer 1

because ammeter is used to measure current and volt meter used to measure voltage across two point. hope answer the question.

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.
