The potential difference across a load in a circuit is measured by an instrument called the voltmeter. The voltmeterr has a needle moving over a graduated scale. It gives the value of potential difference across the terminals. Voltmeter has two terminals marked +ve and -ve. The terminal marked +ve is connected to the higher potential side of the circuit with a wire, while the -ve terminal is connected to lower potential side of the circuit.
To measure the potential difference across two end points in a circuit, a voltmeter is connected in such a way that the potential difference across the component is same as that across the voltmeter. Such a connection is called a parallel connection. In Figure below the potential difference across the load is same as across the voltmeter. The reading of the voltmeter gives the potential difference across the load. Note that if the voltmeter is removed, there will be no gap in the circuit, and the current through the circuit will not stop.
Two or more electric elements are said to be connected in parallel if the potential difference across one is the same as he potential difference across the other. A voltmeter is always connected in parallel in a circuit.
As the Voltmeter is to be connected in parallel so the voltmeter has very high resistance. Hence a very less amount of current flows through the voltmeter and the change in the current that is flowing through the load is negligible.

My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
