The following question based on electric current and magnetism topic of general science mcq

Questions : Consider the following statements :
  1. An ammeter should have low resistance
  2. An ammeter should have high resistance
  3. A voltmeter should have low resistance
  4. A voltmeter should have high resistance
Which of the statements are correct ?

(a) 2 and 3

(b) 1 and 4

(c) 1 and 3

(d) 2 and 4

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (b)

Ammeter is connected in series within the circuit. Therefore, the net resistance of the circuit increases and current to be measured decreases, so ammeter should have low resistance.

On the other hand voltmeter is connected in parallel within the circuit. This changes the overall current in the circuit and hence, the potential difference to be measured is also changed to minimise the error, so the equivalent resistance of the voltmeter should be large.

Question : 4

The heating element of an electric heater should be made with a material, which should have

a) high specific resistance and low melting point

b) low specific resistance and low melting point

c) high specific resistance and high melting point

d) low specific resistance and high melting point

Answer: (c)

A heating wire should be such that it produces more heat when current is passed through it and also does not melt.

It will be so if it has high specific resistance and high melting point.
