A voltmeter is connected in a _____________ with the circuit component across which potential difference is to be measured?
Correct answer: A. Parallel
- A. Parallel
- B. Series
- C. Series or parallel
- D. None of the above
Explanation
A voltmeter is connected in parallel so it has the same potential difference as the component being tested. Its high resistance keeps the current drawn from the circuit as small as possible.
