Question

What happens when ammeter is connected in parallel and voltmeter is connected in series???????

Open in App

Solution

A voltmeter has high resistance and if it is connected in series then it would consume all the current but an ammeter has low reistance and if it is connected in parallel then all the current would flow through ammeter and nothing would flow in the circuit .
