An ideal ammeter has infinite resistance and an ideal voltmeter has zero resistance.(a) True(b) FalseI have been asked this question during an interview.My doubt stems from Moving Coil Galvanometer topic in division Moving Charges and Magnetism of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) False

The explanation: An ammeter is a low resistance instrument and it is ALWAYS connected in series to the circuit. An ideal ammeter has zero resistance. Voltmeter is a high resistance instrument and it is always connected in parallel with the circuit ELEMENT ACROSS which potential DIFFERENCE is to be measured. An ideal voltmeter has INFINITE resistance.
