VOLTMETER Figure 1 shows an electric PSC motor in series with two switches that are in parallel with one another. The voltage between points A and B (the open switch) in this case would be 0 V, ...

The voltmeter is connected in parallel with the component. The supply voltage is shared between components in a series circuit, so the sum of the voltages across all of the components in a series ...

Here's an example of a circuit with resistors in both series and parallel formations. Say you have a 20-volt battery, immediately followed by a resistor of 10 Ohms.

You can investigate voltage across cells and lamps in a series and parallel circuit by connecting the following circuits. Put one voltmeter in position V 1 and record the reading in a suitable table.
