The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "All elements of a circuit are connected in series except," we need to identify which component is typically connected in parallel rather than in series. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Series and Parallel Connections**: - In a series circuit, components are connected one after another, so the same current flows through all components. - In a parallel circuit, components are connected across the same two points, allowing multiple paths for current to flow. 2. **Identify Circuit Components**: - Common components in circuits include batteries, resistors, ammeters, and voltmeters. 3. **Analyzing Each Component**: - **Battery**: Always connected in series to provide voltage to the circuit. - **Ammeter**: Measures current and must be connected in series to ensure the current flows through it. - **Resistor**: Typically connected in series to limit current or drop voltage. - **Voltmeter**: Measures voltage across components and is connected in parallel to measure the potential difference. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the components listed, the voltmeter is the only one that is connected in parallel, while all others (battery, ammeter, resistor) are connected in series. 5. **Final Answer**: - The element that is connected in parallel (not in series) is the **voltmeter**.
