The voltmeter should be connected in parallel with the measured appliance,

The voltmeter should be connected in parallel with the measured appliance,


Because the internal resistance of the voltmeter is very high, the current through the voltmeter is very small and can be ignored



Why should the voltmeter be connected in parallel with the tested appliance


Because the resistance of the voltmeter is very large, when it is paralleled, the output current is the smallest and the error influence is the smallest
At the same time, all electrical appliances, only when parallel, parallel voltage is equal, voltmeter is reflected through its own voltage, to reflect the parallel voltage of the measured electrical appliances. At this time, the voltage of the measured electrical appliances will be the most real



In the circuit, the voltmeter measures the voltage at both ends of the appliance. When the appliance is short circuited, does the voltmeter show the number? When the appliance is short circuited, does the voltmeter show the number?
Is there any indication in case of open circuit?


When the circuit is open, the voltmeter indicates the power supply voltage
There is no indication in case of short circuit
