Solution

The correct option is B

Ammeter should be connected in series and voltmeter in parallel


The explanation of the correct answer

In the case of option B

  1. The ammeter should be connected in series, and the voltmeter should be connected in parallel.
  2. The ammeter is a device that is used to detect the flow of current while a voltmeter is a device that measures the difference in potential between two locations.
  3. The ammeter's impedance is low. It is linked in a sequence and would cause a short circuit in the circuit if it was linked in parallel.
  4. The resistance of the voltmeter is very high. It is linked in a parallel manner and would obstruct the current passage in the circuit if linked in series.

The explanation of the incorrect answer.

In the case of option A

As discussed above, the ammeter should be connected in series and the voltmeter should be connected in parallel. Hence, this option is incorrect.

In the case of option C

As discussed above, the ammeter should be connected in series and the voltmeter should be connected in parallel. Hence, this option is incorrect.

In the case of option D

As discussed above, the ammeter should be connected in series and the voltmeter should be connected in parallel. Hence, this option is incorrect.
