[AIEEE 2002; AFMC 2002]
Options:
A) Low resistance in parallel
B) High resistance in parallel
C) High resistance in series
D) Low resistance in series
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
If ammeter is used in place of voltmeter (i.e. in parallel) it may damage due to large current in circuit. Hence to control this large amount of current a high resistance must be connected in series.
