Answer:

Explanation:

Oiling reduces friction between parts with relative motion between them.

Repeated oiling is needed as the film of oil reducing the friction becomes thinner with time as some of the oil gets pushed off of the areas of motion where it can no longer be useful.

Oil also becomes oxidized which reduces the oil's ability to decrease friction.

Oil can also be fouled by dirt, lint or other material. This added material becomes coated in oil and typically gets sequestered away from the moving parts reducing the oil available for lubrication purposes.

Answer: A voltmeter must have a high resistance where as an ammeter must have a low resistance.

Explanation:

A voltmeter is a device which is connected in parallel to the component across which voltage needs to be measured. In a parallel circuit voltage drop is same at the nodes. The parallel connection must not offer easier path for current to divert from the main circuit and travel. Thus, a voltmeter must have high resistance.

On the other hand, an ammeter which is used to measure current in the circuit must have low resistance as it is connected in series. It should not offer resistance as it would reduce the actual current and measurement would be inaccurate.
