Q1. [1]
For verification of Ohm's law, we design an electrical circuit diagram in which we show the arrangement of different circuit components. We find that with respect to the resistor, the :
- (a) ammeter is connected in parallel and the voltmeter in series.
- (b) ammeter is connected in series and the voltmeter in parallel.
- (c) ammeter and voltmeter are both connected in series.
- (d) ammeter and voltmeter are both connected in parallel.

Model Answer
(b) ammeter is connected in series and the voltmeter in parallel.
Explanation
The ammeter measures current, so it must be in series (same current flows through it); the voltmeter measures potential difference across the resistor, so it must be in parallel with it. This is standard circuit connection for verifying Ohm's law.
