    If an ammeter is to be used in place of a voltmeter, then we must connect with the ammeter a   AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2002

    A) low resistance in parallel

    B) high resistance in parallel

    C) high resistance in series

    D) low resistance in series

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    A voltmeter is a high resistance device and is always connected in parallel with the circuit. While an ammeter is a low resistance device and is always connected in series with the circuit. So, to use ammeter in place of voltmeter, a low resistance (i.e., shunt) must be connected in parallel with the ammeter to make its resistance small.
