Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion Voltmeter is a galvanometer with high resistance. It measures potential drop across any part of an electrical circuit. It is connected in parallel so that it does not draw any current itself (due to high resistance) and does not affect net resistance of the circuit.
