If an ammeter is to be used in place of a voltmeter, then we must connect with the ammeter a

A

Low resistance in parallel

B

High resistance in parallel

C

High resistance in series

D

Low resistance in series

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c )If ammeter is used in place of voltemter (i.e., in parallel) it may damage due to large current in circuit. Hence, to control this large this large amount of current a high resistance must be connected in series.
