In order to measure current in a circuit, the multi-meter needs to be placed in __A__, while when measuring voltage, the multi-meter needs to be placed in __B__ with the circuit. Group of answer choices A - Series, B - Parallel A - Series, B - Series A - Parallel, B - Series A - Parallel, B - Parallel

A - series B - parallel

Explanation:

In order to measure current in a circuit, the multi-meter needs to be placed in series with the circuit while when measuring voltage, the multi-meter needs to be placed in parallel with the circuit.

It should be however noted that the same current flows in a series connected circuit and same voltage flows through loads connected in parallel. The ammeter is placed in series with the load to ensure that same value of currents is flowing in both the ammeter and loads (since same current flows in series connected circuit elements and all the amount of voltage must be made to appear on the load for the current to be measured accurately.

Voltmeter is connected in parallel to the load due to high value of current possessed by the voltmeter. The parallel connection will cause the current flowing through the voltmeter to reduce to zero so that it won't have effect (increase) on the amount of current initially on the resistor thereby measuring the exact amount of voltage on the load.
