A voltmeter is made with very high resistance mainly so that it
Adraws negligible current from the circuit
Bcan be connected in series safely
Cincreases the current through the component
Dmeasures charge directly
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. draws negligible current from the circuit
A voltmeter should not significantly disturb the circuit it is measuring. Therefore, it is designed to have very high resistance so that only a very small current passes through it.
