Voltmeter is a device that measures the potential difference across two points in a circuit. To measure the potential difference across a resistor, how should we connect the voltmeter in the circuit (in series or parallel with the resistor)? Why? What should be the main characteristic of an ideal voltmeter? (Comment on its resistance)
