explain how we can connect an ammeter voltmeter in a circuit while performing experiment for studying the dependence of current (I) on a potential difference (V) across a resistor.

Open in App

Solution

Ammeter should be connected in series in the circuit and voltmeter should be connected in parallel across the ends of the resistor in order to measure the voltage across it.
