A voltmeter must not steal current from the circuit. Its own resistance is therefore:

AVery warm
BVery short
CVery large
DVery small
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Very large
1. It sits across the component in parallel. 2. A low resistance would divert the current. 3. So its resistance is very large. _Source: OpenStax University Physics Volume 2, Chapter 10, Direct-Current Circuits._
