why do we connect voltmeter in parallel,why not in
series,and why do we connect ammeter in series why not in
paprallel...

Answer Posted / 7anoter4

A voltmeter measures the potential difference between 2
points of an electric circuit and completes the circuit
which is open between this to points that means
is "parallel" with remaining elements in circuit.

An ammeter measures the current flowing through the circuit
so you have to break the circuit and put the ammeter "in
series" with the circuit elements.
