Question

What will happen when a voltmeter os connected in series and ammeter is connected in parallel?

Answer 1

if voltage is connected in series then due to high resistance no current willflow through circuit so no voltage dropoccur. Voltage in same line is zero . its indicates zero. and if ammeter is connected in parallel due to low resistance it will act like short circuit so chances of ammeter get damaged is high.

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
