Answer:

High current flow

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally , the measuring instruments used by technician also have some resistance, though its value is very low . So when high current is present in the circuit , that current also passes through the instrument which creates a good potential drop across the instrument . So the external voltage used in the circuit measures less voltage .
