Problem

Identify the correct statement regarding the placement of an ammeter to measure the current through a resistor

R

in a simple circuit. a) It must be connected in parallel with

R

so that the full battery voltage appears across the ammeter b) It must be connected in series with

R

but through a large resistance shunt to avoid affecting the circuit current c) It must be connected in series with

R

so that the same current flows through both d) It should be connected in parallel with

R

for large currents and in series only for very small currents
