If an ammeter is to be used in place of a voltmeter, then we must connect with the ammeter a
  1. low resistance in parallel
  2. high resistance in parallel
  3. high resistance in series
  4. low resistance in series

Solution

A voltmeter is a high resistance galvanometer and is connected in parallel to circuit and ammeter is a low resistance galvanometer so if we connect high resistance in series with ammeter its resistance will be much high.
