Why must you hook up ammeters in series with a circuit, but voltmeters in parallel?
a) ammeter is used to measure the current flow in a circuit
in a circuit current is smae in a series
so that ammeter is connected in series only.
b) voltmeter is used to measure the voltage in the circuit
voltage is constant in parallel combination of circuits
so voltmeter is connected in parallel with the circuit element.
