Homework Answers
If we want to measure resistance R, first we need to measure the potential difference (voltage) V across it using the Voltmeter and then we need to measure the current through it using the Ammeter.
Note that Voltmeter is always to be connected in PARALLEL to the resistance and Ammeter is always to be connected in SERIES (just beside the resistance) to the resistance.
After measuring voltage V and current I, divide V by I to get resistance R.
According to ohms law, V =IR => R = V/I

You have a 10 ohm resistor connected in series with an ammeter. The voltage applied to the whole circuit is 1.2 volts. At the same time you have a voltmeter connected across the 10 ohm resistor and voltmeter reads 0.9 volts. The circuit draws a total of 0.5 amps. Can you determine resistance of the ammeter?
