question 11 of 25
how is a voltmeter used in a circuit?
a. it is connected in series and measures current.
b. it is connected in parallel and measures current.
c. it is connected in series and measures potential difference.
d. it is connected in parallel and measures potential difference.

Explanation:

A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure the potential difference (voltage) between two points in an electrical circuit. It has high resistance and is connected in parallel across the component or section of the circuit for which the potential difference is to be measured. Connecting it in series would disrupt the circuit and not measure voltage as intended, and it does not measure current.

Answer:

D. It is connected in parallel and measures potential difference.
