An ammeter with a range of 0–3A is mistakenly connected across the resistor instead of in series during an experiment. Which statement best describes what is likely to happen?
a) The ammeter will read zero because it offers a very high resistance to current
b) The ammeter will show its full-scale deflection (3 A) but remain undamaged
c) The ammeter may get damaged due to an excessive current through its low resistance
d) The ammeter will act like a voltmeter and display the potential difference across the resistor
