Question

What happened if a voltmeter connected in series and ammeter in parallel in circuit by mistake?

Answer 1

Ammeter is always connected in series because it has low resistance and Voltmeter is always connected in parallel. because it has high resistance. Ammeter is connected in parallel. since it has very low resistance most current will flow through it and will cause short circuit and can also damage it.

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
