Voltmeters are connected to simple series circuits the same way they are connected to any circuit. They are connected in parallel with the portion of the circuit for which you wish to measure the voltage drop.

Is the headlamp of a car a series circuit?
A: Is hardly any parts on a car connected in series for the simple fact if a lamp blow up everything i series will it quit working all together
What components do you need to make a simple series circuit to light on bulb?
You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.
In a simple circuit is a battery in series or parallel with the resistor?
In series.
What scientific term is used to describe the arrangement of a variable resistor and the diode which connect in a series circuit?
There isn't anything "scientific" about this simple series circuit. If you've got a variable resistor (a potentiometer) and a diode in series, you have a simple series circuit with the two components in it.
What is different between parallel circuit and series circuit?
In the series connection and how there is multiple paths or branches on parallel circuits but in a simple circuit, there is one path.
How is a series circuit constructed?
A series circuit is a simple circuit, a circuit that simply goes round in a loop without any branches off. Often, these circuits have just a battery, an appliance and a switch. A lamp is an example of one of these.
How do you calculate the time constant for a simple series RL circuit?
The time constant of an RL series circuit is calculated using the formular: time constant=L/R
When you have watts in a series circuit do you add up the total or is it the reciprocal?
The power dissipated by the complete circuit, no matter whether it's a series or parallel one, is the simple sum of the power dissipated by each component of the circuit.
What are the three types of circuit's?
the three types of circuits are series, parallel, and series-parallel.AnswerThere are, in fact, four types or categories of circuit, not three! These are series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.The term 'complex' is somewhat misleading, because a 'complex circuit' is not necessarily complicated (although they often are!) but merely the collective name for any circuit that isn't series, parallel, or series-parallel. A simple example of a complex circuit is a bridge circuit, such as Wheatstone's Bridge.
Does a battery operated toy have a parallel circuit?
Yes, a battery operated toy has a parallel circuit - the battery is in parallel with the toy. In fact, this is true for any system where there is a single equivalent source and a single equivalent load. While it is true that this is also a series circuit, by Kirchoff's current and voltage laws a simple series circuit is also a simple parallel circuit.
How does the brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit compare to the brightness of the bulb in a simple circuit?
The brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit is the same as the brightness of a bulb in a simple circuit. By Kirchoff's voltage law, each element of a parallel circuit has the same voltage drop across it. With the same voltage, the same type of bulb will dissipate the same power, and have the same brightness.
A 24 volt battery supplies three devices wired in parallel that each have a resistance of 9 ohms. What is the voltage drop across each device?
A simple circuit has three resistors connected in series. The resistors are 14 ohms 12 ohms and 9 ohms. What is the total resistance of the circuit?
