प्रश्न
State whether a voltmeter has a high resistance of a low resistance. Give reason for your answer.
उत्तर
A voltmeter has a high resistance so that it takes a negligible current from the circuit.
In a circuit, a voltmeter is connected in parallel across the element of whose potential difference it has to measure. Since we don't want the current diverted through the voltmeter, the voltmeter has a high internal resistance so that the circuit maintains the same current as if the voltmeter was not present.
