Parallel with any component like R or C or L or any 2 nodes of the circuit. Feel free connecting VMs anywhere in your circuit keeping in the proper Range/scale selector/AC-DC selector . That makes no damage

How is ammeter and voltmeter attached to a circuit?
Ammeters are connected in series with the load under test. This requires the load be disconnected from the source, and the ammeter placed in circuit. Voltmeters are connected in parallel with the load under test. This does not require any circuit changes. Sorry, but WikiAnswers does not support illustrations.
Is a voltmeter placed parallel to a circuit?
Depends. What did you want to measure? If it's voltage drop across the incandescent element, then you had better hook up your infinite resistance voltmeter in parallel with the lamp.
How do you identify positive terminals in voltmeters and ammeters?
The positive terminals in voltmeters and ammeters are generally indicated by a red coloring and a + (plus) symbol. Negative is generally black and - (minus).
What are the types of digital voltmeters?

Why is an AC voltmeter a second order instrument?
DC voltmeters take the average of a set of samples. AC voltmeters work out the RMS voltage (root-mean-square) of the signal which is defined as: VRMS = The square-root of the intergral over one period of v2(t)
Why are ammeters are connected in series and voltmeters are connected in parallel in all electrical circuits?
ammeters measure the flow of electricity voltmeters measure the pressure of electricity
How are voltmeters connected to a simple series circuit?
Voltmeters are connected to simple series circuits the same way they are connected to any circuit. They are connected in parallel with the portion of the circuit for which you wish to measure the voltage drop.
What do voltmeters test?
Voltmeters provide a direct, difference of potential measurement or test.
How can you tell wheter two charges have the same magnitude?
This why they make voltmeters! This is why they make voltmeters!!
What measures an electric signal?

What is voltmeter made up of?
The old voltmeters were an ammeter in series with a resistor (which set the range). Digital voltmeters may sense voltage directly or current through a resistor - and then use digital circuits to convert the reading into alpha-numerics.
Why connect positive end of battery with positive end of voltmeter?
The leads of the voltmeter are labeled that way to get a positive readout when you connect the positive lead to the positive terminal of the battery (and negative to negative). Digital Voltmeters will read negative voltage if connected backwards. Voltmeters with a needle, would have the current flowing in such a way that the needle would try to deflect 'below zero' because the needle windings are designed for the current to flow in one direction, to cause positive deflection of the needle.
