To measure voltage drop across a component or connector the voltmeter must be connected in?
it must be connected in parallel as always
How do you connect a voltmeter?
You can get one in a lot of places. Some places are Sears, Home Depot, Maybe Radio Shack, or some other hardware store. The best brand you can get is Fluke. It is pretty expensive but it is really accurate.
Why is the voltmeter connected in parallel but the ammeter connected in series?
The Voltmeter is used to measure the electrical potential difference between two points... so it's no use to connect it in Series , because the electrical potential difference between two points at the same line is zero ==> the readings will always be zero. The Ammeter is used to measure the electric current in a circuit... so it's no use to connect it in Parallel , because you want to know the current flowing in this wire. note the internal Resistance of the Ammeter is very little and very high for the Voltmeter --> so they will not affect the circuit.
Which circuit the ammeter connected in parallel?
An ammeter is always connected in series and a vlotmeter in parallel
Why are fairy decorative lights always connected in parallel?
If you mean Christmas lights; that was before. Nowadays Christmas lights are connected in parallel.
Is the voltmeter always connected in series to the circuit?
in parallel
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.

Is a ammeter connected in series or in parallel with the circuit under test?
An ammeter is connected in series. A voltmeter is connected in parallel. ammeter should always be connected in series instead of parallel becoz it is a low resistance device and we know that resistance is inversly proportional to current so more current will pass through it and if it is connected in parallel than it may get damaged

When jumping a dead battery are the positive terminals connected last?
No, always connect the negative last.
Why lights in classroom is connected in series or in parallel?
only two connections are possible.. parallel connection is always desired than series. .
What happens when voltmeter is connected in parallel?
An ideal voltmeter has infinite impedance(resistance). If you were to break the circuit and put it in series and try to make a measurement, it is easy to see that the circuit would act completely differently and your measurement would be wrong. An ideal ammeter is always connected in series because it has 0 resistance, so all of the current would flow through it, and not through the wire that you are trying to measure the current of.A better answer though is to think about what you are trying to measure. When you say something is 3 Volts, that is a difference between the voltages at two different points. If you want to see what the voltage drop across a resistor is, for example, you need to put one probe of the voltmeter on one side of the resistor and the other probe on the other side of the resistor. That setup is simply called being in parallel.Voltage is potential difference between two points, hence measured across or in parallel, where as current is measured in series since current flows (*)
Why capacitors are almost always connected in parallel and not in series?
to provide a discharge path for voltages.
