How is a voltmeter connected in a circuit?


Open in App
Solution

  1. A voltmeter is a device that measures the potential difference between two conductor ends that carry current.
  2. A voltmeter is connected in parallel with a device, whereas an ammeter is connected in series with a device.
  3. A galvanometer with a high resistance is a voltmeter. It determines the potential drop across any portion of an electrical circuit.
  4. It is connected in parallel so that it draws no current (due to its high resistance) and has no effect on the net resistance of the circuit.
