How should voltmeter be connected to measure the potential difference across a resistor - in series or in parallel?
In parallel.
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.
How does an ammeter work?
An ammeter is a low voltage voltmeter in parallel with a small resistance resistor. Current flow through the resistor creates a voltage drop across it which is then measured by the voltmeter.
High resistance in parallel connected with galvanometer to form voltmeter?
That won't work. To convert an ammeter (a galvanometer is a very sensitive type of ammeter) you connect a high value resistor in series with it.
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 .
How should voltmeter be connected to measure the potential difference across a resistor - in series or in parallel?
In parallel.
How is resistivity connected to resistance?
Resistance is connected in parallel with voltmeter or say, voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistance.
What type of meter would be connected on both sides of a resistor in a circuit?
ammeter in series at any side as required since it is bilateral and voltmeter is connected in parallel to measure voltage drop across it
How should a ammeter and voltmeter be connected in circuit?
Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
Describe the proper placement of a voltmeter in a circuit?
A voltmeter should be connected in a parallel connection
Is the voltmeter always connected in series to the circuit?
in parallel
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.
How is a voltmeter connected in the circuit to measure the potential difference between two points?
The voltmeter is connected in parallel between the two points whose potential difference is required.
How does an ammeter work?
An ammeter is a low voltage voltmeter in parallel with a small resistance resistor. Current flow through the resistor creates a voltage drop across it which is then measured by the voltmeter.
High resistance in parallel connected with galvanometer to form voltmeter?

Should a Voltmeter always be connected in a series with a component?
Voltmeter should be connected always in parallel to a circuit ANSWER : IT should be in parallel except when used to measure current. Then it should be placed in series across a shunt.
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.
