Solution

  1. In order to reduce the current traveling through the voltmeter and maintain the same current through the circuit, the voltmeter should be positioned parallel to the circuit.
  2. The device used to measure the electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit is called a voltmeter.
  3. It has parallel connections. It typically has a high resistance such that it uses very little circuit current.
