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.
A)series,series
B)parallel,series
C)parallel,parallel
D)series,parallel

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To measure the current through a resistor, the ammeter should be placed in series with the resistor, while to measure the voltage across the resistor, the voltmeter should be placed in parallel with the resistor. Therefore, the best choice is to place the ammeter in series and the voltmeter in parallel with the resistor, which corresponds to option D.
