What type of meter is connected in
parallel with a resistor in a circuit, and why?

• A. An ammeter, to measure potential difference
• B. A voltmeter, to measure potential difference
• C. A voltmeter, to measure current
O. D. An ammeter, to measure current

Answer / Explanation:

B

Potential difference is measured using a device called a voltmeter . Just like ammeters, some types have a pointer on a dial, but most have a digital display. However, unlike an ammeter, you must connect the voltmeter in parallel to measure the potential difference across a component in a circuit.
