In a circuit, an ammeter and a voltmeter are correctly connected respectively
Aboth in series
Bin series and in parallel
Cboth in parallel
Din parallel and in series
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. in series and in parallel
1. An **ammeter** measures current, so it is connected **in series** so the whole current passes through it.
2. A **voltmeter** measures potential difference, so it is connected **in parallel** across the component.
3. Hence: ammeter in series, voltmeter in parallel.
