Question

The figure shows a circuit diagram for measuring the current through a resistor and the voltage across the resistor. The ammeter (A in a circle) measures current and the voltmeter (V In a circle) measures voltage. The resistor (R) is connected to a power supply with adjustable voltage (battery symbol with arrow). In this circuit, the ammeter is in series and the voltmeter is in parallel with me resistor. ammeter and the voltmeter are in parallel with the resistor. the ammeter and the voltmeter are in series with the resistor. the ammeter is in parallel and the voltmeter is in series with the resistor.

Explanation / Answer

a)...The ammeter is in series and the voltmeter is in parrallel with the resistor.( True)

                 The volt meter is always adjusted in parrallel to the circuit because in parralllel combination voltage remains the same and in ammeter is connected in series because in series current remains the same.
