Question

Two technicians are discussing voltage drop testing. Technician A says that the voltmeter should be connected in series with the circuit you are testing. Technician B says that the voltmeter should be connected in parallel with the circuit you are testing. Who is correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Technician B is correct. The voltmeter should be connected in parallel with the circuit that is being tested.

Explanation:

This is because the potential difference, that is being measured by the voltmeter, is always across the end of the conductor or the resistor(s) according to Ohm's law of electricity.
