To determine which statements are correct, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement 1**: - The statement claims that "An ammeter is connected in series in a circuit and a voltmeter is connected in parallel." - **Explanation**: This is true. An ammeter measures the current flowing through a circuit and must be connected in series to ensure that all the current passes through it. A voltmeter measures the voltage across a component and is connected in parallel to that component to measure the potential difference accurately. - **Conclusion**: Statement 1 is correct. ...
