The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options has the maximum resistance, we need to analyze the characteristics of each device mentioned: voltmeter, ammeter, millivoltmeter, and millimeter. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Function of Each Device**: - **Voltmeter**: A voltmeter is used to measure the potential difference (voltage) across two points in a circuit. Ideally, it should have infinite resistance to ensure that it draws minimal current from the circuit, thereby not affecting the measurement. - **Ammeter**: An ammeter measures the current flowing through a circuit. It is designed to have very low resistance (ideally zero) to allow maximum current to flow through it without affecting the circuit. - **Millivoltmeter**: A millivoltmeter is a sensitive device used to measure small voltages (in millivolts). It is designed to have a high resistance, even higher than that of a standard voltmeter, to minimize the current drawn from the circuit. - **Millimeter**: This term seems to be a misnomer in this context. If it refers to a measuring device, it is not relevant to resistance measurements in electrical circuits. 2. **Comparing Resistances**: - **Resistance of Voltmeter**: High (ideally infinite) - **Resistance of Ammeter**: Low (ideally zero) - **Resistance of Millivoltmeter**: Higher than that of a voltmeter - **Resistance of Millimeter**: Not applicable 3. **Conclusion**: - Among the devices listed, the millivoltmeter has the highest resistance, as it is designed to measure very small voltages while drawing minimal current, even more so than a standard voltmeter. ### Final Answer: The device with the maximum resistance is the **millivoltmeter**. ---
