an ammeter should be connected in series with the load and the source and the voltemeter must be in parallel with the source.
Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
no. you want to measure across the desired circuit segment. whether you are measuring voltage drop or current.
in series
Parallel to the load.
Smoke. Since a voltmeter is in parallel with the load it is right across the source voltage. Putting the amp meter across the line with its low resistance it will act like a fuse, hence the smoke....
