You construct a circuit containing some component C, along with other circuit elements. You want to simultaneously measure the current through C and the voltage across C while it remains connected to the rest of the circuit. Indicate where you would connect an ammeter (A) and a voltmeter (V) to perform these measurements. Fill any remaining gaps with wires as needed to complete the connection with the rest of the circuit.

Answer:

The position of the ammeter is in series down the component. While the voltmeter must be connected in parallel. Its position is the gap through the component C.

The positions of one or the other are indicated in the image.

Explanation:

An ammeter is defined as a device used to measure current. Its unit is the ampere. While a voltmeter is used in the measurement of the potential difference between two points. Its unit is the volt. The ammeter must be connected in series with the point at which the current is to be measured, while the voltmeter must be connected in parallel.

The ammeter A would be connected in series with component C, and the voltmeter V will be connected in parallel to it.

Ammeter and Voltmeter connection:

An ammeter is a device used to measure current. And a voltmeter is used to the potential difference or the voltage drop between two points.

The ammeter must be connected in series because if it is connected in parallel with the component it will divide the current and we will not be able to measure the actual current in component C. So the ammeter must be connected in series with the component.

The voltmeter has a very high internal resistance. Since it is a voltage measuring device, it should be connected in parallel combination between two points. Due to high internal resistance, it does not affect the original current through the circuit when connected in parallel.
