- series
- parallel
- an open loop
- reverse only
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. series
An ammeter is connected in series so the full circuit current passes through it.

Worked practice questions
In a circuit, where is the ammeter connected and where is the voltmeter connected?
- A in parallel, V in series
- A in series, V in parallel
- Both in series
- Both in parallel
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. A in series, V in parallel
Ammeter measures current and is connected in series so the same current flows through it.
Voltmeter measures potential difference and is connected in parallel across the component.
Two resistors 4 Ω and 6 Ω are connected in series. Find R_total.
- 10 Ω
- 24 Ω
- 2.4 Ω
- 2 Ω
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. 10 Ω
In series: R_total = R₁ + R₂ = 4 + 6 = 10 Ω.
