Answer:

A) True. Voltmeters measure voltages

C) True. They are placed in parallel

E) True ammeters are used to measure current

Explanation:

The devices for voltage measurement are the voltmeter and ammeter

Voltmeters have very high intense resistance and are placed in parallel

The ammeters have very small resist and are placed in series

Based on this establishment, let's analyze the statements

A) True. Voltmeters measure voltages

B) False has high intense resistance

C) True. They are placed in parallel

D) False ammeters are placed in series

E) True ammeters are used to measure current

Which is one use for radioactive isotopes? sanitation architecture meteorology archaeology
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Archaeology

Explanation:

Radioisotopes are radioactive atoms of an element in which their atoms contain excess energy making them unstable. When broken down they become more stable releasing radiations.

Carbon 14 is a radioactive isotope that is used in archaeology to study and estimate the lifespan and age of organic materials such as wood, leather. Carbon 14 can be used to estimate the ages of materials up to 50000 to 60000 years.
