1. Electric current is measured in , using an instrument called an .
2. Voltage, also known as potential difference, is measured in , using an instrument called a .
3. An ammeter must be connected in with the component to measure the current flowing through it.
4. A voltmeter must be connected in across the component to measure the potential difference across it.
5. Which of the following best describes electric current?
The opposition to the flow of charge.
The rate of flow of electric charge.
The energy possessed by an electric charge.
The force between two electric charges.
6. Why is a voltmeter connected in parallel?
To measure the total current.
To provide a path for the current.
It has high resistance and draws minimal current.
It has low resistance and allows current to flow easily.
7. An ideal ammeter has very high resistance.
True
