Q155 / 225 · JEE Main 2002 · Physics

If an ammeter is to be used in place of a voltmeter, then we must connect with the ammeter a

A
low resistance in parallel
B
high resistance in parallel
Correct answer
C
high resistance in series
D
low resistance in series

Solution

A voltmeter is a high resistance galvanometer and is connected in parallel to circuit and ammeter is a low resistance galvanometer so if we connect high resistance in series with ammeter its resistance will be much high.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
