The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the given statements regarding the characteristics of an ammeter and a voltmeter. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Ammeter:** - An ammeter is used to measure the current flowing through a circuit. - It is connected in series with the circuit. - If the ammeter has high resistance, it will impede the flow of current, leading to an inaccurate measurement. **Conclusion:** An ammeter should have small resistance. **Correct Option:** (i) An ammeter should have small resistance. 2. **Evaluating the Second Option:** - Since we established that an ammeter should have low resistance to accurately measure current, the statement that an ammeter should have large resistance is incorrect. **Conclusion:** An ammeter should NOT have large resistance. **Correct Option:** (ii) An ammeter should have large resistance is incorrect. 3. **Understanding the Voltmeter:** - A voltmeter is used to measure the voltage across two points in a circuit. - It is connected in parallel with the component across which the voltage is to be measured. - If the voltmeter has low resistance, it will draw current from the circuit, which can lead to an inaccurate voltage reading. **Conclusion:** A voltmeter should have large resistance. **Correct Option:** (iv) A voltmeter should have large resistance. 4. **Evaluating the Third Option:** - Since we established that a voltmeter should have high resistance to avoid drawing current from the circuit, the statement that a voltmeter should have small resistance is incorrect. **Conclusion:** A voltmeter should NOT have small resistance. **Correct Option:** (iii) A voltmeter should have small resistance is incorrect. ### Final Answers: - Correct Options: (i) and (iv) - Incorrect Options: (ii) and (iii)
