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.
