Answer: The correct answer is option (D).

Explanation:

Voltmeter is a device which measures the the voltage applied across the circuit. It is an electrical instrument used to measure the electric potential between the two points in an electric circuit.

Where as:

A switch is the device which used to connect or disconnect the circuit.

Resistor is a device which opposes the flow of current is an electric circuit.

An ammeter the is an electrical device which measures the amount of current in flowing in amperes in an electrical circuit

Hence,the correct answer is option (D).

Describe why you weigh less on moon than on earth. Give examples

dmitriy555 [2]

Weight doesn't really mean much as it just means gravity the bigger a space object is the more force it has to pull on something since the moon is smaller than the earth then it has less gravity and then less weight on scales.
