Question

why is voltmeter connected in parallel across a circuit element ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hye ✌️✌️

Here is your answer:-

________

Voltmeter is connected in parallel with circuit elements because it is used to measure the device's voltage. ... If it's connected in series then it will change the value of potential difference which will minimise the current in the circuit as it has very large resistance and you will get faulty readings.

________

Hope it helped☺️☺️

Answer 2

Explanation:

voltmeter is used in parallel b across a circuit because it is used to measure voltage but if it is used in series it will change the value of potential difference which will give you wrong reading
