Question

Which of the following statements are true? (Select all that apply.) Voltmeters have a relatively high resistance and are placed in series with a resistor. Ammeters have a relatively high resistance and are placed in parallel with a resistor. Ammeters have a very low resistance so as to not significantly alter the total resistance of a circuit. Voltmeters have a very low resistance and are placed in parallel with a resistor. Ammeters have a relatively high resistance and are placed in series with a resistor. Ammeters have a relatively low resistance and are placed in parallel with a resistor. Voltmeters have a relatively high resistance and are placed in parallel with a resistor. Voltmeters have a very low resistance and are placed in series with a resistor. Ammeters have a very low resistance and are placed in series with a resistor.

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

voltmeter are used to measure voltages across a resistor ,

voltmeter is connected in Parallel , and for zero current in the voltmeter ,

and for ammeter , it is used to measure current in the resistor ,

it is connected in series and it has low resistance , so there the current in the resistor stays the same .

Hence , the correct statements are :

Voltmeters have a relatively high resistance and are placed in parallel with a resistor.

Ammeters have a very low resistance and are placed in series with a resistor.

Ammeters have a very low resistance so as to not significantly alter the total resistance of a circuit.
