Understanding +4 | -1

Assertion: A voltmeter must be connected in parallel in a circuit and it should have a high resistance.
Reason: The voltmeter in the circuit must not affect the potential difference measured by it.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion

Option A is correct because a voltmeter is connected in parallel to measure potential difference and should have high resistance to minimize current drawn, thus not affecting the measurement.
