Identify the correct statements from the following for an electrical circuit.
(A) An ammeter of very low resistance is connected in series in the circuit.
(B) A Voltmeter of high resistance is connected in series with a resistance in the circuit.
(C) A current I coming at a point P of a circuit, divides into 4 small currents flowing through different branches and all the currents again combine to give current I at the next point S of the circuit. The branches are in parallel.
(D) The internal resistance of the batteries can always be neglected
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) and (C) only
(A) True: Ammeter has very low resistance and is connected in series.
(B) False: Voltmeter of high resistance is connected in parallel, not series.
(C) True: Current divides into branches and recombines; such branches are in parallel.
(D) False: Internal resistance of batteries cannot always be neglected.
Correct statements: (A), (C).
