Question

The figure shows a circuit diagram with a resistor (R) connected to a power supply with adjustable voltage (battery symbol with arrow); the numbered circles indicate probes.

For a measurement of the current through the resistor and the voltage across the resistor,

Question 1 options:

Probe 1 is an ammeter and probe 2 is a voltmeter.

Two options will work: probe 1 as an ammeter and probe 2 as a voltmeter, or

probe 2 as an ammeter and probe 1 as a voltmeter.

Probe 1 is a voltmeter and probe 2 is an ammeter

Probe 1 and 2 are voltmeters.

Probe 1 is an ammeter and probe 2 is a voltmeter.

Two options will work: probe 1 as an ammeter and probe 2 as a voltmeter, or

probe 2 as an ammeter and probe 1 as a voltmeter.

Probe 1 is a voltmeter and probe 2 is an ammeter

Probe 1 and 2 are voltmeters.

Explanation / Answer

Ammeter will be connected in series with R while the voltmeter will be connected parallel to R.
