Potential Difference and Voltmeters
 

Potential Difference and Voltmeters problem 21


Two meters are connected in a circuit to measure the current in a component and the potential difference across the component. Which meters are used and how are they connected to the component?


  • an ammeter in parallel for current, a voltmeter in series for potential difference


  • an ammeter in series for current, a voltmeter in parallel for potential difference


  • a voltmeter in parallel for current, an ammeter in series for potential difference


  • a voltmeter in series for current, an ammeter in parallel for potential difference
