Since voltage is electrical potential difference, to measure the voltage across a component, you place the voltmeter across, or in parallel with, the component.

To measure voltage drop across a component or connector the voltmeter must be connected in?
it must be connected in parallel as always
How are voltmeter connected to circuit?
Usually a voltmeter is connected across the load whether or not it is AC (Alternating current) or DC (Direct Current). A voltmeter is never connected in series with the load as this may cause serious injury or damage. The meter will absorb the full potential .
Which will normally have the larger resistance a voltmeter or an ammeter?
A voltmeter has the large resistance.The voltage across any component can be measured if & only if the terminals of that component will be open and this will we can acheiv if we connect the high resistance voltmeter across the open terminals of that component to measure the voltage.
Is a voltmeter placed parallel to a circuit?
Depends. What did you want to measure? If it's voltage drop across the incandescent element, then you had better hook up your infinite resistance voltmeter in parallel with the lamp.
Voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistor?
A voltmeter can be connected in parallel with a resistor to show the voltage across the resistor.

What component is used to measure voltage?
A Voltmeter.

Why must voltmeter be connected in parallel with the circuit component?
Because, by definition, a voltage is the difference in potential between two different points. So the voltmeter must be connected across those points in order to measure that voltage -i.e. in parallel with the points.B
What is the function of the voltmeter in an electric circuit?
A voltmeter is a device to measure the voltage in a electric circuit, and must have be connected in parallel to it.
What does a voltmeter measure voltage in?
A voltmeter measures voltage in volts.

How do you measure the voltage in a circuit?
by voltmeter
How do you measure voltage of current?
