Question

True / False:

O An ammeter must be placed in parallel with a resistor to measure the current through the resistor.
O A voltmeter is used to measure voltage.
O A voltmeter has a small internal resistance.
O An ammeter is used to measure current.
O A voltmeter must be placed in parallel with a resistor to measure the voltage across the resistor.
O An ammeter has a large internal resistance.

Answer 1

Answer: 1. False, an ammeter must be placed in a series connection to experience the same current which it is measuring

2. True, a voltmeter measures voltage (electric potential) in volts

3. False, a voltmeter should have high internal resistance such that it does not significantly alters current in a circuit.

4. True, a meters measure current

5. True, voltmeter would measure electric potential across a resistor

6. False, since they tend to influence the current in a circuit, ideally it should have very low resistance near zero
