Why Voltmeter Is Connected Parallel To The Conductor
Q) Why is a voltmeter connected in parallel?
Answer:
A voltmeter is an instrument that measures the difference in electrical potential between two points in an electric circuit. In order for a voltmeter to measure a device's voltage, it must be connected in parallel to that device. This is necessary because objects in parallel experience the same potential difference.
A voltmeter has a high resistance so that it takes a negligible current from the circuit when connected in parallel. Since voltmeters have high resistance, so in series, they would greatly decrease the current going to the circuit and hence are not connected in series but only in parallel.
