Voltmeter should connect always to parallel to ckt because is has high resietance.

Voltage remins same in parallel combination. If we connect in series their will be drop in circuit across voltmeter.

Voltage drop is same in parallel paths.

*voltmeter is used to measure voltage.

*if you want to measure V then yo ve to connect it in parallel since V remains same in parallel paths.

*so in order to avoid flow of current through voltmeter (coz it may lead to reduction of V) it is designed in such a way so that it gives very high impedance (ideally infinity).

The galvanometer can be converted into voltmeter by connecting the ckt in parallel. For ammeter this should be in series. :)))))

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

Ammeter is in series withe circuit
Voltmeter is in parallel with the circuit

Purpose measure voltage.

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