Voltmeter is used to measure voltage.

Series with the circuit means CURRENT.
Parallel with the circuit means VOLTAGE.

According to parallel combination if potential difference across each of them is the same and is equal to the applied potential difference.

VOLTAGE+PARALLEL=VOLTMETER
CURRENT+SERIES=AMMETER

In parallel ckt voltage is always same in b/w d 2 terminals due 2 this reason voltmeter is used 4 d voltage mest. in parallel with the ckt.

Purpose measure voltage.

V=const in parllel circuit. So we put in parllel.

Voltage defines potential differnce between 2 points, so voltmeter is connect in parllely.

Voltage will be measured with respect to positive and negative terminal that is why voltmeter will be placed parllely in the circuit.

Votmeter is used to measure Voltage.

Why it is used in parallel because to make reference with ground.

To understand in simple how your mummy measures your potential?

By Comapring you with your neighbour friend taking them as reference :)

What is the effect of high resistance on parallel connection?

Difference between resistance and impedance ?

In parallel devices, Voltages are the same.
In series devices, Currents are the same.
