The multiplier and the meter coil in a voltmeter are in________________?
Correct answer: A. series
- A. series
- B. parallel
- C. series-parallel
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A voltmeter is made by connecting a high-value multiplier resistor in series with the meter coil, limiting the current to a safe value. Parallel connection would not provide the required voltage extension and could cause excessive current.
