$A$ child has drawn the electric circuit to study Ohm's law as shown in the figure. His teacher told him that the circuit diagram needs correction. Study the circuit diagram and identify the errors,then describe the correct circuit configuration.
(N/A) The errors in the given circuit diagram are as follows:
$1$. The ammeter $(A)$ is connected in parallel with the resistor $(R)$,whereas it should be connected in series with the resistor.
$2$. The voltmeter $(V)$ is connected in series with the circuit,whereas it should be connected in parallel across the resistor $(R)$.
$3$. The polarity of the ammeter and voltmeter is incorrect in the diagram.
Correct circuit configuration:
$1$. Connect the ammeter $(A)$ in series with the resistor $(R)$.
$2$. Connect the voltmeter $(V)$ in parallel across the resistor $(R)$.
$3$. Ensure the positive terminal of the ammeter and voltmeter is connected towards the positive terminal of the battery,and the negative terminal is connected towards the negative terminal of the battery.
