Question

Why voltmeter is always connected in parallel?

Open in App

Solution

A Voltmeter has very high resistance to ensure that it's connection do not alter flow of current in the circuit.Now if it is connected in series then no current will be there in the circuit due to it's high resistance. Hence it is connected in parallel to the load across which potential difference is to be measured.
