Question

To measure the current through and the voltage across a resistor in a circuit, you should place the ammeter in _____ with the resistor and the voltmeter in _____ with the resistor.

Answer 1

Answer:

• ammeter: series
• voltmeter: parallel

Explanation:

The current is the same through components connected in series. If you want to measure the current in a component, the ammeter must be placed in series.

__

The voltage is the same at the terminals of components connected in parallel. If you want to measure the voltage across a component, the voltmeter must be connected across the component, that is, in parallel with it.

Answer 2

$\huge \mathbb \pink{ANSWER:}$

To measure the current through and the voltage across a resistor in a circuit, you should place the ammeter in series with the resistor and the voltmeter in parallel with the resistor.
