Question

A voltmeter is connected across a component:

Options

  • in parallel, and it has a very low net resistance

  • in series, and it has a very low net resistance

  • in series, and it has a very high net resistance

  • in parallel, and it has a very high net resistance

Solution

A voltmeter measures potential difference, so it is connected in parallel across the component. Its large series resistance gives it a very high net resistance (ideal → ∞ Ω), so it draws negligible current from the circuit.
