[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.
