because in ckt connection there r done some ohmic loss due to the connecting wires and other factor , so voltmeter reading is not equal to its rated reading.

and this also done due to different error like instrument error , measurement error etc...

Equation for voltage in a parallel circuit?

You can measure across *any* component - see the answer on measuring voltage.For any resistance measurement, be SURE that:1. The circuit is disconnected from the power supply, and2. "Energy storage" components such as capacitors are discharged.If the circuit does contain capacitors of reasonable size (microfarads or more) these may demand some power from the meter to charge them, so you can get an artificially low reading at first, but it will rise to the correct value as the capacitors charge.


Who created the Beatles cartoon series?

The Beatles cartoon series was created by Al Brodax. The series ran on the ABC Network between 1965 and 1969 over 4 seasons with 48 episodes in total.


How do you balance a nuclear decay reaction?

Follow a few rules called conservation of charge and conservation of mass number. Add all charges on the left (protons and beta particles) and this must equal the total charge on the right. Total of mass numbers on the left must equal the total of mass numbers on the right.


Does each bar equal two crotchets in value?

The total value of a bar (a "measure") of music is dependent on its time signature. The time signature is written at the beginning of a piece of music as two numbers, one on top of the other.In the case of a 4/4 time signature, the total value is equal to 4 (the top number) beats per measure, with each beat being equal to a crotchet (the bottom number). The end result is that four crotchets (quarter notes) will fill up one measure.In the case of a 2/4 time signature, the total value is equal to 2 beats per measure, with each beat equal to the crotchet. The result is that two crotches will fill up one measure.And in the case of a 3/8 time signature, the total value is equal to 3 beats per measure, with each beat equal to a quaver (eighth note). The result is that eight quavers will fill up one measure.

What are the changes take placein the volt meter connected to the series and pararrel circuits?

The essential difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit is the way in which the components are physically connected. In a series circuit there is just a single path that electricity can take, whereas in a parallel circuit there are two or more different paths.


What are the laws of series and parallel connection?

1.In series connection the total resistance is equal the total number of resistor that was connected in series 2.the current is constant in a series connection 3.in a series connection total voltage is equal the number of of volt per cells


What happened to the reading of ammeter and voltmeter if the number of dry cells are added in the circuit?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! When you add more dry cells to a circuit, the ammeter will show a higher reading because there is more current flowing through the circuit. The voltmeter reading will also increase because the total voltage of the circuit will be higher with the addition of more dry cells. Just remember to always paint with light and electricity in your circuits, my friend!


What path will the current takes in a series circuit with a voltmeter pause does the current goes through voltmeter pause because if it does pause isn't current suppose to be taking the shortest path?

A voltmeter is designed to operate like a very large resistor (order of megaOhms), in parallel to the circuit that it is measuring. As long as the voltmeter resistance is much larger than the circuit that it is measuring, it will draw very little current away from the circuit and will only minimally disturb the operating circuit. See related link. If the voltmeter is connected in series with the rest of the circuit, then that is the same as connecting a very large resistor in series.So for example if you have 10 volt battery and a 10 ohm resistor, that would be 1 amp (without the voltmeter). Now if the voltmeter is 10 megaohm, the total resistance is 10000010 ohms, so the current is 0.999999 microamperes, and the voltage across the 10 ohm resistor is 9.99999 microvolts, while the voltage across the voltmeter is 9.999990 Volts (these numbers are rounded, but you get the idea).Suppose you put in series with a 1 kiloOhm (not sure about that spelling) resistor. The total resistance is 10001000 ohms, and current is 0.99990 microamperes, the voltage across resistor is now 0.9999 millivolts (it was microvolts) and the voltage across the voltmeter is 9.9990001 volts


What is the total voltage in a series circuit when multiple resistors are connected in series?

In a series circuit with multiple resistors connected in series, the total voltage is equal to the sum of the individual voltages across each resistor.


What is the Formula for least count of voltmeter?

The formula for calculating the least count of a voltmeter is least count = Range / Number of divisions. Where the Range is the maximum voltage that the voltmeter can measure and the Number of divisions is the total number of divisions on the voltmeter scale.


How do you connect a voltmeter to a battery?

To measure the total emf simply connect the battery and voltmeter with the right terminals , but to measure the terminal potential difference which is less than the emf the voltmeter is connected in parallel with the battery


What is the voltage reading of two resistors in series that has a total resistance of 75 K?

The voltage across the ends of the series combination is 75,000 times the current through it.


How do you connect a voltmeter in parallel circuit?

To measure voltage in a parallel circuit, connect the voltmeter's probes across the component for which you want to measure the voltage. Ensure the positive probe of the voltmeter is connected to the positive side of the component and the negative probe to the negative side. The voltmeter will then display the voltage across that component.


What is total voltage in a series circuits?

In a series circuit the total voltage is the sum of the voltage drops across all the component in series. When the voltage drops across each the individual components are added up, they will equal the supply (or applied) voltage.


What happens to the ammeter reading when a lamp is added to a circuit which contains two cells and a lamp in series?

Assuming the new lamp is in series, the ammeter reading falls because the total resistance has increased. By how much depends on how the lamp resistance depends on voltage. If the lamp is added in parallel to the first, then the ammeter reading doubles.


What is the difference between ammeters and amp meters?

An Ammeter connects a low impedance on the test points, so the equivalent of that is a "short circuit" between the test points. This is done to avoid a drop of current on the tested circuit. A Voltmeter connects a high impedance on the test points, so the equivalent of that is a "open circuit" between the test points. This is done to avoid a drop of voltage on the tested circuit. --------- In terms of external connections Ammeter (used to measure current) is connected in series of the circuit (through which the current flow need to be measured) and voltmeter (used to measure voltage) is connected in parallel to points in circuit (across which voltage needs to be measured).
