**Solution:** To determine whether the resistance of a voltmeter should be low or high, we need to consider how a voltmeter functions in an electrical circuit. 1. **Function of a Voltmeter**: A voltmeter is used to measure the potential difference (voltage) across two points in a circuit. It is always connected in parallel with the component across which the voltage is being measured. 2. **Connection in Parallel**: When connected in parallel, the voltmeter should ideally not affect the circuit's operation. This means it should not draw significant current from the circuit. ...
