If an ammeter is to be used in place of a voltmeter, then we must connect with the ammeter a

Options

Alow resistance in parallel
Bhigh resistance in parallel
Chigh resistance in series
Dlow resistance in series

Correct answer

C. high resistance in series

Step-by-step solution

A voltmeter is a high resistance galvanometer and is connected in parallel to circuit and ammeter is a low resistance galvanometer so if we connect high resistance in series with ammeter its resistance will be much high.
