(Solved) When measuring a voltage drop in a circuit, should you place the voltmeter in series or parallel with the res?

resistor?

(a) in series
(b) in parallel

2. Which of the following statements helps explain your answer to part (a)? (Select all that apply.)
a) The relatively low resistance of voltmeters allows us to treat the voltmeter's resistance as being negligible.
b) The relatively low resistance of voltmeters allows us to treat the voltmeter's resistance as being infinite.
c) The relatively high resistance of voltmeters allows us to treat the voltmeter's resistance as being negligible.
d) The relatively high resistance of voltmeters allows us to treat the voltmeter's resistance as being infinite.

3. When measuring amperage, should you place the ammeter in series or parallel with the resistors?
a) in series
b) in parallel

4. Which of the following statements helps explain your answer to part (c)? (Select all that apply.)
a) Ammeters have a very low resistance so as to not significantly alter the total resistance of a circuit.
b) Ammeters have a very high resistance so as to not significantly alter the total resistance of a circuit.
c) The ammeter's high resistance allows us to treat the ammeter's resistance as negligible.
d) The ammeter's low resistance allows us to treat the ammeter's resistance as negligible.
