Question

Before we make measurements, let's make sure we understand the circuit. 1. Select all of the following that correctly describe what a volt meter and ammeter measure. Select all that apply: A volt meter measures the potential difference (or voltage) across a circuit element. A volt meter measures the potential difference (or voltage) passing through a circuit element. A ammeter measures the electric current passing through a circuit element. A ammeter measures the electric current across a circuit element.

Answer 1

the correct answers are a and c

Step-by-step explanation:

In an electrical circuit there are two important quantities to measure, such as voltage and current.

Voltage is the potential difference between two points in a circuit

current is the number of electrons you pass through a given point per unit of time.

Now let's analyze each answer

a) true. The potential difference across an element

b) False. The potential difference is u field there is no physical entity that moves

c) True. The current is electrons in motion and these pass through the given element

d) False. There is a physical quantity that passes through the point

the correct answers are a and c
