Which one of the following statements is NOT correct?
- A. An ammeter is always connected in series in the circuit to measure the current
- B. A Voltmeter is always connected to parallel in a circuit to measure the voltage
- C. A voltmeter has a high resistance and an ammeter has a low resistance
- D. A voltmeter has a low resistance and an ammeter has a high resistance ✓
Correct Answer: D. A voltmeter has a low resistance and an ammeter has a high resistance
Explanation
An ideal voltmeter has infinite (or very high) resistance to avoid drawing current, while an ideal ammeter has zero (or very low) resistance to avoid dropping voltage in the circuit.
