Which of the following is likely to have the largest resistance ?

Correct answer: A. Voltmeter of range 10 V

  • A. Voltmeter of range 10 V
  • B. Moving coil galvanometer
  • C. Ammeter of range 1 A
  • D. A copper wire of length 1 m and diameter 3 mm

Explanation

A 10 V voltmeter is designed with a large series resistance to draw very little current. An ammeter and galvanometer have relatively low resistance, while a short, thick copper wire has extremely low resistance.
