Question

Identify the step which is not correct in measuring the voltage by a voltmeter.

  1. Plug the probes into the meter.
  2. Choose the electrical component along which voltage needs to be measured.
  3. Hold the probes by the insulated handles and touch the red probe to the positive side of the circuit and the black probe to the negative side of the circuit.
  4. Your voltmeter is in series to the component.

hintHint:

Voltmeter has high resistance to limit its effect on the circuit.

The correct answer is: Your voltmeter is in series to the component.


    • Voltmeter is the device that is used for measuring the volt in the device.
    • The voltmeter is connected to the circuit in parallel series to the device. 
    • Because voltmeter has high resistance so it can have little affects on the circuit and only measure the voltage of the device.
