Q. 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
Explanation
(c) A voltmeter is a high resistance device and is always connected in parallel with the circuit. While an ammeter is a low resistance device and is always connected is series with the circuit. So, to use voltmeter in place of ammeter a high resistance must be connected in series with the circuit.
