If an ammeter is to be used in place of a voltmeter, then we must connect with the ammeter a (a) low resistance in parallel (b) high resistance in parallel (c) high resistance in series (d) low resistance in series

Answer: (c). A voltmeter must have a very high resistance so that it draws almost no current. So a high resistance is connected in series with the ammeter (galvanometer). So the answer is (c) high resistance in series.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

A voltmeter must have a very high resistance so that it draws almost no current.
So a high resistance is connected in series with the ammeter (galvanometer).
So the answer is (c) high resistance in series.
