The voltmeter is always connected ______ across the points between which the potential difference is to be measured.
-
A.
in any random manner
-
B.
in parallel
-
C.
at an angle to the circuit
-
D.
in series
Correct Answer:
B. in parallel
Explanation:
A voltmeter is a device designed to measure the electrical potential difference between two specific points in a circuit. To ensure it measures this difference accurately without significantly altering the current flowing through the main circuit, it must be connected in parallel with the component or section being measured. This arrangement allows the voltmeter to experience the same voltage as the component while its high internal resistance prevents most current from passing through it. Therefore, a voltmeter is always connected in parallel.
