Question
The circuit below consists of 2 resistors 3 meters and a potential source. 2 R1 R2 3 In which of the numbered positions could an ammeter be correctly placed to measure the current passing through Resistor-1 (R1)? Only Meter 2 is correctly placed to measure the current in R1. Only Meter 1 is correctly placed to measure the current in R1. O Only Meter 3 is correctly placed to measure the current in R1. Both Meters 1 and Meter 3 are correctly placed to measure the current in R1. None of the positions shown would be appropriate to place an ammeter that would measure the current through R1 correctly.
