Question 14

A student is setting up a circuit to determine the resistance of an unknown resistor RRR. To do this, they need to measure the potential difference across the resistor and the current through it. Which of the following options correctly describes how the voltmeter and the ammeter must be connected relative to the resistor RRR?

A

Voltmeter in parallel with RRR; Ammeter in series with RRR

B

Voltmeter in series with RRR; Ammeter in parallel with RRR

C

Voltmeter in parallel with RRR; Ammeter in parallel with RRR

D

Voltmeter in series with RRR; Ammeter in series with RRR
