An ammeter should have_____________ resistance?
Correct answer: C. Very low
- A. Infinite
- B. Very large
- C. Very low
- D. None of the above
Explanation
An ammeter is placed in series, so it must have very low resistance to cause only a negligible voltage drop. Infinite or large resistance would restrict the current being measured.
